Enrollment in IPHY 3010 (Teaching in Integrative Physiology)

Contact the instructor well in advance, typically early in the semester before you wish to teach. Block off the class period in your schedule and be prepared to attend a required TA review meeting in addition to the class. Once approved, provide your Student ID Number and Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØemail address to the instructor, who will forward the information to the office staff. After the office staff receives your information, they will enroll you in IPHY 3010 and send a confirmation email. This email will remind you of any tuition/course fees and request that you verify your enrollment.
