Online General Chemistry - Labs
Options for completing the laboratory requirement for your General Chemistry sequence
The two online General Chemistry sequences have different lab delivery methods.
General Chemistry - 121, 122, 123
This General Chemistry sequence's required lab component is included within the instruction for each course and is delivered by online chemistry laboratory service onlinechemlabs.com. All of the lab requirements for this sequence are completed entirely online and does not require an OSU campus visit. For a preview of the sequence, view the YouTube Video below featuring instructor Richard Nafshun.

In a simulated laboratory, students retrieve materials, follow the steps of the scientific method and witness simulated reactions. Check out a sample "virtual" lab or view a demo on onlinechemlabs.com. The courses also features exciting video modules highlighting key concepts with chemical demonstrations.
General Chemistry - 231, 232, 233
The lab components of General Chemistry 231, 232 and 233 are CH 261, 262 and 263. The lab courses are one-credit hybrid online/on-site courses that require hands-on, on-campus lab experience available in an intensive weekend delivery format on the OSU campus in Corvallis, OR. See chart below for more detail.
Click on each course to be taken to the Course Schedule to find out when the courses are offered.
| Online Lecture Course | Lab Course | Notes |
| CH 231 | CH 261 | CH 261 can be taken simultaneously or following CH 231. |
| CH 232 | CH 262 | CH 231 is prerequisite for CH 232. CH 262 can be taken simultaneously or following CH 232. |
| CH 233 | CH 263 | CH 232 is prerequisite for CH 233. CH 263 can be taken simultaneously or following CH 233. |
Online lecture courses CH 231, 232 and 233 must be taken in order, and their corresponding lab courses may be taken at the same time or following completion of the lecture. Note: Because the lab courses CH 261, 262 and 263 are OSU on-campus courses, they follow the OSU Corvallis Campus tuition model. Visit OSU Corvallis Campus Tuition Information for more info.
The CH 231, 232, 233 online lecture sequence combined with the CH 261, 262, 263 hybrid lab sequence is equivalent to OSU's on-site campus CH 221, 222, 223 General Chemistry sequence and satisfy OSU's undergraduate bacc core requirements.
