A word about Biology I and II courses.

Prior to the first day of Fall 2022, BIO 1203, 1201, 1223, and 1221 did not exist. If a student transferred in a course that was equivalent to BIO 1404/1414 and it was evaluated prior to August 22, 2022, then it came in as BIO 1404/1414 and not the new course numbers, because they did not exist.

Now, if a student transfers in a course (that is equivalent and would’ve previously come in as BIO 1404/1414), it should transfer in as the new course number. The thing is that there are hundreds of schools and courses that have to be changed in the tables and this takes time to change them. Admissions could not start this process until the courses were active, which was the first day of Fall 2022. They have already changed them for Texas schools and are in the process of doing the rest. Note: This is for any courses evaluated after 8/22/22. They will not re-evaluate courses that have already been evaluated. So, if a student’s transfer course was evaluated on June 22, 2022, and it came in as BIO 1404, it will stay BIO 1404. If someone’s transfer credit is evaluated tomorrow, it will come in as BIO 1203.

We have updated the catalogs in DW to look for BIO 1404/1414 or the new course numbers. If you see BIO courses (new or old numbers) that are not going in to the appropriate requirement in DegreeWorks, please email us the student’s information to DegreeWorks@utsa.edu.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an email directly.
