The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at California State University, Dominguez Hills receives its 2nd Grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation to address the lack of diversity and opportunity gap related to the life science/biotechnology industry.
Welcome to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry Website – created to help you navigate your chemistry courses or major here at CSUDH.
The majority of Chemistry and Biochemistry courses do not require permission numbers to register. Students with the required requisites should be able to add classes without permission numbers once their registration date is up.
IMPORTANT:
As always, all Chemistry and Biochemistry majors will need to meet with a Faculty Major Advisor before they will be able to register for classes. Major Advising is necessary to help make sure you stay on track for graduation, as well as to answer any questions you may have. Once you meet with your Major Advisor, they will remove your Advising Hold allowing you to register for classes once your registration date hits.
NOTE: Major Advising is different than other advising the University provides. Although some may be required, and all may be helpful, your hold will only be removed once you meet with a Major Faculty Advisor. You may choose any of the following major advisors. You may change advisors any time, or keep the same advisor you've met with before. New: try booking an appointment with these advisors through the Toro Success Collaborative first. If you don't see their name or appointment availability, use the links below.
Chemistry & Biochemistry Major Faculty Advisors:
All faculty hold regular office hours during the regular instructional sessions: Fall, Spring. Have a look at your course syllabus for your instructor's office hours. If you need to reach out to a faculty member but you don't know their office hours, feel free to contact them via their email.
If you need assistance selecting classes for next term you have many options to help you.
