Courses proposed for meeting the laboratory science and technology requirement should include at least thirty hours of laboratory time in addition to class hours. In addition, departments may allow you to use one course as a departmental. It is not possible under any circumstances to use courses taken away from Princeton to substitute for a term of study at Princeton. Beginning with the summer of 2000, organic chemistry courses taken at other institutions may be only provisionally preapproved. After these organic chemistry courses have been successfully completed with a grade of C or better, students must subsequently take and pass a proficiency exam administered by the Department of Chemistry if they wish to receive Princeton credit for these courses.
Student loans are available to meet tuition costs of approved courses.
Deadlines and Extensions Meeting deadlines for all written work and taking exams when scheduled are serious and important parts of your academic obligations at Princeton. You will not receive an extension if you apply for it after the date on which a paper is due, nor will you always be allowed to reschedule a final exam because you did not take it at the announced time. Princeton has a strict policy on deadlines, and you would be ill served if you were not told, at the very beginning of your academic career, that deadlines will seldom be moved and should never be ignored. All students are expected to take the midterm exams at the time and date specified by the instructor or by the registrar. If, however, for a good and sufficient reason you are unable to take a midterm exam as scheduled, please discuss the problem in advance with your director of studies, who may be able to work with the course instructor to reschedule the examination.
