About Portage CHEM 103
CHEM 103 (General Chemistry I with Lab) is a 4-credit course that serves as the gateway to all other chemistry courses at Portage. It’s primarily taken by nursing students as a prerequisite, but also required for pre-health, pharmacy tech, and other healthcare programs.
The course covers fundamental chemistry: atomic structure, stoichiometry, chemical bonding, gas laws, solutions, acids and bases, and thermochemistry. It includes a virtual lab component with notebook entries — adding another layer of work on top of the already demanding content.
Credits transfer through Geneva College to over 2,000 programs nationwide. But verify with your nursing program first — some competitive programs don’t accept Portage credits.
Course Structure
Like all Portage courses, CHEM 103 follows a consistent structure:
- 12-15 Modules — each with readings, problem sets, and a proctored exam
- Virtual Labs — experiments with detailed lab notebook entries
- Proctored Exams — via Respondus LockDown Browser + Webcam
- Short-Answer Format — show all work, correct sig figs, proper units
- 48-Hour Lockout — only one exam allowed per 48-hour period
- Final Exam — comprehensive, proctored, covering all topics
The 48-hour lockout and minimum 28-day completion period mean you can’t rush through. Plan accordingly — or let us handle it.
For Nursing Students: The Stakes Are High
Many nursing programs require a B or higher in Chemistry for admission. A C might not cut it for competitive BSN programs. If you’re applying to nursing school, this isn’t a course to gamble on.
Why Students Struggle with CHEM 103
CHEM 103 has a reputation for being significantly harder than students expect. Here’s why:
| The Problem | How We Fix It |
|---|---|
| “Stoichiometry destroyed me.”
Mole conversions, limiting reagents, percent yield — stoichiometry is where most students hit the wall. One dimensional analysis error cascades through the entire problem. |
Our chemistry specialists have solved thousands of stoichiometry problems. We set up dimensional analysis correctly, track units precisely, and show work for full credit.
Stoichiometry conquered. |
| “The grading is brutal — zero partial credit.”
Wrong significant figures? Zero points. Missing unit label? Zero points. Correct methodology but wrong format? Zero points. Portage’s automated grading has no mercy. |
We know exactly how Portage wants answers formatted. Correct sig figs, proper units, clear notation. Our answers are formatted for full credit.
Full-credit formatting. |
| “There’s no one to ask when I’m stuck.”
You email the professor and wait 24-48 hours. Meanwhile you’re stuck on a gas law problem at 11 PM with a deadline approaching. Self-paced means self-taught. |
We respond within hours and complete work on your timeline. No waiting, no confusion, no missed deadlines.
Real support, fast. |
| “I haven’t taken chemistry since high school.”
That was 5-10 years ago. Now you’re trying to remember electron configurations while learning stoichiometry. The foundation gap makes everything harder. |
Our experts have the chemistry background you don’t. We handle the content while you focus on your actual goals.
Your chemistry gap solved. |
| “The lab notebooks take forever.”
Virtual labs require detailed notebook entries with proper formatting, data analysis, and conclusions. It’s hours of additional work on top of the regular coursework. |
We complete lab notebooks with proper formatting, accurate data, and correct analysis. Ready to submit.

Can you help with proctored exams in CHEM 103?
Yes. CHEM 103 uses Respondus LockDown Browser with webcam monitoring. We have secure methods for proctored exams. Contact us with your details and we’ll explain how we help.
Is Portage CHEM 103 hard?
Yes — significantly harder than most students expect. The combination of stoichiometry, zero instructor support, and automated grading with no partial credit makes it brutal. Students who haven’t taken chemistry in years struggle the most. Reddit nursing communities consistently warn that CHEM 103 is one of the hardest Portage courses.
Can you complete my entire CHEM 103 course?
Yes. Full course completion is our most popular service. We handle every module, every problem set, every lab notebook, every exam — start to finish. You get the grade; we do the chemistry.
What about the lab notebooks?
We complete all lab notebooks with proper formatting, accurate data recording, correct calculations, and appropriate conclusions. Lab notebooks are tedious and time-consuming — we handle them so you don’t have to.
Will my nursing program accept Portage CHEM 103 credits?
Most do — Portage credits transfer to over 2,000 programs through Geneva College. However, some competitive nursing programs don’t accept Portage credits for prerequisites. Always get written confirmation from your program’s registrar BEFORE enrolling. Portage has a strict no-refund policy.
