Below is some helpful information to consider when registering for BIOL 399

Please direct any questions to bio-ins-svcs@uw.edu. 

1. BIOL 399 credits are only open to current Biology majors. For those not in the major, we suggest that you look into GEN ST 391.

2. You can register between 2 and 12 credits of BIOL 399 in a given quarter. You will pay extra tuition if your BIOL 399 registration takes you above a total of 18 credits in a quarter. 

3. Tuition is per credit in summer, unless you are registered as a full-time student, in which case you pay a quarter’s tuition. 

Steps to Register for BIOL 399: 

1. Before you decide to register for Biol 399, make sure you contact an advisor to determine how many of those credits can count towards your degree: bioladv@uw.edu

2. Determine how many total hours you work in an internship.  

   1. One credit requires 30 hours of internship work (3 hours per week over 10 weeks). 

   2. Therefore, you can divide your total internship hours by 30 and find the maximum number of credits that you can request.

3. You will need to submit an application for Biol 399 credit each quarter that you enroll in internship credits. 

4. You will need to submit evaluation forms at the end of every quarter you are registered for Biol 399. Evaluations can be submitted via Canvas or email to bio-ins-svcs@uw.edu

Important Registration Information 

Students can spread their 399 credits over several quarters as long as the total number of hours is correct for the total number of credits. To apply for multiple quarters, you must resubmit the application form each quarter that you wish to register.

Students completing internship credits during summer quarter can choose not to register during summer and can request to register for fall quarter BIOL 399 instead.
