Need the Bio Assessment?
GCC Bio Assessment is currently being proctored only in person by appointment only.
If you have taken a year of high school biology and wish to skip the recommended college-level general biology course (BIO156 or BIO181) and enroll in BIO201 or BIO205 at GCC, you must take the BIO Assessment exam. This 40-question exam will help you evaluate how well you remember this important information. If, after taking the exam, you still feel you are adequately prepared to enroll in a 200-level BIO course, you will need to discuss your score with an academic advisor and get their signature to register.
