Who Should Enroll?

Anatomy and Physiology I & II are intended for BHMT participants who need A&P with lab to fulfill prerequisite course requirements for an academic program such as Nursing, Allied Health, or other healthcare programs. It is your responsibility to determine whether these courses are required prerequisites for the academic program you intend to pursue.

A CSUSM advisor in Extended Learning will evaluate the employee’s transcripts if they have not taken CHEM 101 or BIOL 175 through the BHMT program. The evaluation will be to see if the student has met the pre-requisites to take CHEM 106/106L or BIOL 176.

Transferability Requirement

BHMT participants are responsible for making sure selected course(s) will transfer to the accepting institution.

Highly Recommended: the A&P I Practice Course

WARNING: If this is your first online course or you are recently returning to school BHMT highly recommend you take a college preparatory course Intro to Anatomy & Physiology or UNIV 104 – College Gateway Program before registering for a course with lab. If you are already enrolled in a Lab Science class, you will not be able to enroll in additional Lab Science courses.

PLEASE NOTE: BHMT will use your available KP tuition reimbursement funds for eligible tuition, fees and materials expenses. If available tuition reimbursement funds are not sufficient to cover expenses, BHMT will cover the remainder at no cost to you.

FAQs (Click here to expand this section)

Are there any prerequisites required for A&P II?

Yes, A&P I is required prior to enrolling into A& PII. Note: If you have taken A&P I at another college or university please email your transcript to: Elizabeth Rosales (erosales@csusm.edu). CSUSM will compare your previous school course description to ensure it meets their school requirements. You must have passed A&P I with a letter grade of C or better

CAN I TAKE MORE THAN ONE CLASS AT A TIME?

No, if you are already enrolled in a Lab Science class, you will not be able to enroll in additional Lab Science courses.

How many hours a week should I expect to spend on studying and lab work?

In general, you should expect to spend 18-20 hours a week or more depending on the individual student

How should I handle and store the animal specimens?

Animal specimens should be stored in a cool place in the plastic container in which they arrive (NOT in your refrigerator). DO NOT open the animals until the week of the assignment. Dissection can be done on any flat surface using the equipment provided in the lab kit. Conducting your dissection properly by following directions and safety protocol is required. Hands on Lab provides student customer service should you have questions about your lab kit. WARNING: The cat is preserved in formaldehyde

What should I do with my lab kit if I plan on taking A & P II?

If you are planning to take A & P II, do not discard your lab kit. The trust will not pay for another lab kit or any replacement items.

Note: BHMT no longer cover replacement items. BHMT will only cover your first lab kit

What else is important to know that will help me succeed?

Concepts build on one another, so it’s critical that you do not fall behind! It’s important to ask for help immediately to address any technical issues or course content and assignment problems. Learning chemistry concepts and elements requires constant repetition. Develop a schedule for study and lab work, so that you can learn the material and complete assignments on time. It is important that you understand all biology concepts just as if you were in a face-to-face class

What happens if I need to drop out of the course

If you do not drop the course within the first 2 weeks from the start of class and return your lab kit and microscope in the provided return label your trust account will be suspended for 1 year. If you need assistance contact your instructor and BHMT Career Development Coach. If you find that your circumstances prevent you from remaining in the course, you will need to let the instructor and Trust know
