General Chemistry (Chemistry 100/101) Laboratory Home Page

Lab Rescheduling Form (use this if you wish to request permission to attend a lab section other than your normally scheduled section; note that permission is not guarantied, and that we are limited by space and staffing in our ability to accommodate such requests).

Laboratory Manual (downloadable from on-campus only; use this site to make extra copies of report forms). Printed copies are distributed to all students enrolled in Chemistry 100, and these should be kept for use in Chemistry 101.

Lab schedule for Chem 100 (sections 1 and 2) for Fall 2008 and Spring 2008 (Spring 2009 schedule will appear later). Dates listed are for Tuesday labs; labs are also held on the three subsequent days (Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays).
