General Education Requirement Guidelines
for Revising & Removing General Education Courses
After approval by the Department
and College faculty, proposed changes to General Education courses are
submitted to the Undergraduate Council for review.
- Revision Guidelines
Courses currently on one of the General Education course lists that
undergo revision in content (e.g., a change in title, credit or contact
hours, catalog description, or student learning outcomes) will be required
to reaffirm General Education eligibility by submitting documentation
to the appropriate General Education subcommittee as part of the curricular
action for the revision. Documentation will include a completed course
proposal form indicating the course changes.
Removal Guidelines
- Removal of a course from the General Education course
list does not imply removal of the course from the listing of courses
in the University Catalog. A separate process is required to drop a
course.
- For requests to remove a General Education course
that may have significant impact to curricula, the General Education
committee may recommend a phase-out plan and a delay in removal in order
to make sure affected programs are identified and notified of the need
for curricular adjustment. The academic unit requesting the removal
must check with the UG Council Curriculum Committee to determine if
the course requires a phase-out plan. The phase-out plan, if required,
must include a search of all programs requiring the course (via searching
the most recent catalog), a schedule of notification to deans and department
heads of affected programs, and determination of a reasonable drop date
to allow programs to make curricular adjustments.
