Biological Sciences PhD Graduate Course Options

Find course descriptions, instructors, and schedules:

Request a prerequisite/restriction waiver:

  1. Submit a prerequisite/restriction waiver request via the Triton Enrollment Authorization (TEA),
  2. A submission confirmation email will be sent to the student's @ucsd.edu account.
  3. Once a final decision is made on the prerequisite waiver request, an email will be sent to the student's @ucsd.edu account.

Important Notes:

  • If the prerequisite/restriction waiver request is approved, it is the student's responsibility to add (or waitlist, if full) the course via TSS. All standard add/drop deadlines apply.
  • Final decision time will vary and is dependent on instructor response time.
  • System availability coincides with the release of the Schedule of Classes for the given quarter and is available until 4:00pm on Friday of the second week of classes.

Refer to the UCSD Schedule of Classes available through TSS for official schedules and the Tentative Course Offerings page for more detail about planned course offerings.
