Human biology lab, intro to chemistry lab or anatomy and physiology I lab. The lab needs to match the class taken for requirement 3C.

The lab needs to match the class taken either for requirement 3C or for requirement 3D.

But according to the Sophia.org Equivalency List on the Wiki...
Anatomy and Physiology I transfers as BIO-1XX Biology Elective
Human Biology transfers as BIO-103 Human Biology not BIO-105 Biology for Everyday Life
Introduction to Chemistry transfers as CHY-1XX Chemistry Elective

Anatomy and Physiology 1 does not apply to the GEC. The Lab does apply to 3E.
Human Biology and Introduction to Chemistry do apply to the GEC. Human Biology fulfills 3C and the Lab fulfills 3E. Introduction to Chemistry fulfills 3D and the Lab fulfills 3E.
Microbiology does not apply to the GEC but the lab will apply to 3E. Anatomy and Physiology 2 is not applicable to the GEC and neither is the Lab. Environmental Science fulfills 3D but it does not have a Lab.
I just confirmed with the transfer database that these are still correct. When it comes to the GEC, UMPI gives some leeway. For example, my lab science came from a Surface Geology course I took at a community college. UMPI does not often a course resembling that one at all, but they gave me credit for it in my GEC. If a major requires BIO105 then Sophia's Human Biology will not be acceptable because it is BIO103.
