The chemistry department is
one of the original departments of Phoenix College, dating to the 1920's.
Two dozen lecture and laboratory courses provide a range of chemistry
education from preparatory mathematics, fundamental, general and organic
chemistry, as well asindependent study.
There are chemistry classes
on week days, afternoons, evenings and Saturdays. Your teachers and
other instructors are available for help and consultation. Free tutors
are also available. Although the study of chemistry can be challenging,
we want you to succeed!

Safety is our prime concern!
We keep our labs safe by
maintaining a safety oriented environment. By presenting material
to support this at every laboratory period, our enthusiasm for safety
is conveyed to our students.
Handling and reacting chemicals
have inherent dangers, so we minimize those dangers by taking steps
such as safety manuals, equipment, training, testing and supervision.
Knowlege of the faculty and staff is constantly advancing and safety
is taught to the students as part of the lab courses.
Other laboratory policies.
Individual drawers, with
a combination lock, are provided to the students to hold their lab
equipment and related personal items. Most students will have their
drawer to themselves, but some students may share a drawer with a
classmate.
Students should notify
their instructor of a forseeable absence before the class meets if
they wish to be able to 'make up' the lab. All make up work must be
scheduled with the stockroom.
Tutoring is available
from the Phoenix College Learning Center. Study groups, recitations
or drop in help for chemistry classes may be available from
the department. Come to the stockroom for more information. Tutoring
provided by Phoenix College is free.
All of the instructors
are available to all students during their office hours. Students
are encouraged to visit any of the instructors for help or advisement.
You may call the chemistry
