Declaring a Biology major

You can declare the Biology Major only if you have COMPLETED the following courses (or their equivalents): Biology 10100, 10200. Chemistry 1030. Math 19500, 20100 or 20500 with a 'C' grade or higher.

 Note: those students who have completed 60 credits and must declare a major but have not completed all the REQUIRED courses (Bio 101/102, Chem 103/104, Math 201 or 205) should see student advising at CCAPP in order to declare. 

 Declaration Instructions:

Apply for Biology Major through the iDeclare Portal: https://central.ccny.cuny.edu/ideclare/index.php

·      Dr. Grigoyev will review your application in iDeclare and if everything looks good, he will approve your Major Declaration, which will then be processed by the Registrar. Students must submit their declaration by the declaration deadline (end of the month before the advising period starts). Students who submit their declarations after the advisement period starts will not be assigned a Biology advisor until the next cycle and will have to be advised by CCAPP.

·      Upon declaring the Biology major, once a student has completed Chem 10400 with a 'C' grade or higher, they will be contacted to be onboarded into the major and a Biology Advisor will be assigned. Until this time, students should be advised by Science Advising.
