Genome 361 (offered Autumn, Winter, Spring, Summer) is the introduction to Genetics course required of UW Biology and Biochemistry majors. Genome 371, which covered the same material, is currently on hiatus and will not be offered for the foreseeable future.

Because this course is required for a large number of students, it fills up quickly. If the course fills up before you are able to enroll, you are welcome to attend the first day of the course and check in with the instructors at that point. Some space will open up as students drop during the first week. Priority will be given to graduating seniors. You are welcome to contact the course instructors ahead of time with questions, but add codes can't be given out until after that first week of class.

Please be aware that course prerequisites for Genome 361 (Biology 180 / 200) must show up in the UW system before you will be allowed to register for this course. Please do not ask to enroll in this course before your prereqs are in the UW system. If you have taken the equivalent courses at a local community college or elsewhere, please have your transcript sent to UW admissions so that it may be evaluated and added to your record.

Nonmatriculated students are welcome to reach out to the instructor in order to be put on a waitlist for the course. Please be aware, though that priority will be given to regularly enrolled UW students. Information on how to enroll as a nonmatriculated student is available here.

Students sometimes need to switch quiz sections. You would do well to wait until the course begins and then have the instructor help with this. Registration is closed off the day the quarter begins, so if you drop a section on your own thereafter you won't be able to register for another on your own.
