General Education

Current GE Courses
When a course comes up for reivew (every 2 years for a provisional GE course, and every 6 years for a certified GE course), a packet containing the forms below will be sent to your department. The first two forms give departments a checklist for materials and procedures for preparing for a review. The third form, Review Criteria for FGEC Evaluation, lists the criteria that the FGEC will use when reviewing courses. It is useful for departments to know what the FGEC will be looking for when they do the review.

New GE Course Proposals
If you want to propose a course to receive GE certification, also use the forms below. Check the Foundation Documents to see which requirement the course would fit. The support letters from the chair and dean should make it clear that the course is a new proposal.

If the course is also new to the department's curriculum, it needs to go through the University Curriculum Council (UCC) and new GE course at the same time. With your materials submitted to GE, please also include a copy of the new course form given to the UCC.
