That means if you took intro chem (the equivalent of Chem 101\/102, lecture + lab) at another school this summer, you need to provide evidence of satisfactory completion of these courses to Reed&#8217;s Registrar&#8217;s Office before SOLAR will allow you to pre-register for Chem 201. This requirement may create some difficulties for <b>summer students at PSU<\/b> (and possibly elsewhere) because the PSU summer term ends on Wed, Aug 26 and pre-registration at Reed is Fri, Aug 28. If you <b>bring me<\/b> a signed note on Th-F, Aug 27-28, from your PSU chemistry instructor (<a href=\"mailto:alan@reed.edu\">email is also acceptable<\/a>) that says you have completed PSU Chem 221\/222\/223 with grades of C- or better, I will allow you to pre-register for Chem 201 by overriding SOLAR.
