Provisionally Approved Status
Some General Education courses are offered through provisionally approved status in Fall 2022 and Spring 2023. Provisional approval ensures students in both General Education programs have a broad offering of courses and also enables the University-wide General Education Committee to continue its thorough course proposal review process. Provisional status will not be extended beyond Spring 2023.
