Undergraduate Curriculum & Admissions
Description of the EBIO Undergraduate Program
The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, in its teaching and
research, addresses the complex interplay of genes, species and ecosystems
and how those change through time. Our integrative approach focuses
on such issues as global change, conservation biology, and revealing
fundamental mechanisms underlying the structural and functional adaptations
of organisms.

EBIO/EPOB Major Advisor Contact Information:
As an EBIO or EPOB major, your advisors are Sarah Rogers and Suzanne Nelson. Their offices are located in the same building as most of the EBIO facilities, Ramaley, just next to the Norlin Library. Suzanne's office is on the first floor, Ramaley N122F and Sarah's is just next door, Ramaley N122E. This is at the end of the same hallway as the main office. Suzanne can be contacted at extension 2-7637, or by email at suzanne.nelson@colorado.edu. Sarah may be contacted at extension 2-8982, or by email at sarah.rogers@colorado.edu. However, the best way to contact either of your advisors is to set an appointment using the online schedule at http://advising.colorado.edu. Getting an appointment may take several weeks, especially at the beginning of a semester and during registration, and it is advised that you set up an appointment as far in advance as possible. Suzanne has walk-in hours on Friday from 2:00 to 4:00, and we encourage you to email or phone, for briefly answered questions.
Additionally, the AAC Student web site provides students with the information that they need on most advising issues as well as linking them to web based services. Knowing if your advisor is Sarah Rogers or Suzanne Nelson is important in order to access advising services and on this site, students can verify who their advisor is and how to contact them. Students are also able to directly schedule advising appointments with their assigned advisor via this site, as well as directly access information about changing/declaring a major or minor. The address for the AAC Student web site is http://www.colorado.edu/ArtsSciences/aacforstudents/. Please bookmark this for future reference.
When preparing to register for classes, keep in mind that the Registration Handbook and Schedule of Courses (RHSC) is available on the Web at http://registrar.colorado.edu. All students are encouraged to use the Web to access the RHSC. Additionally, registration via the web is now the only way to register for classes. Web-based registration is available each semester as registration opens for the next semester's classes, at http://www.colorado.edu/PLUS. Information will usually be sent via e-mail regarding registration for classes, in case you misplace this link.
