Preferred lab level and session day will be chosen at the time of registration. Labs may be presented virtually dependent upon UNT policy on hosting of community-based activities due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. Determination to be made by September 1, 2020. If onsite lab options are allowed, it will be with the COVID-19 safety guidance in effect as of September 1, 2020.

Fall semester labs for Earth and Environmental Science will begin on Tuesday, September 8, or Wednesday, September 9. Fall labs will conclude November 24 or 25. The spring semester labs in Aquatic and Marine Science will start on Tuesday, February 2 or 3, and will conclude April 27 or 28, with no lab meetings during UNT spring break in March.
