-
From the General Education Committee
a. Courses for re-evaluation for general education credit
a. Gabrielle Giannone – ALPP
The committee voted to approve ALPP general education credit for Gabrielle Giannone
b. Eleni Antzoulatos – Request for HES exception
The committee agreed to grant Eleni Antzoulatos’ request owing to an error resulting from a previous glitch in the degree auditing system.
The committee reminds all academic advisors and students that the HES requirement stipulates that at least one of the two courses required for completion be selected from the approved HES courses in ANTH, ECON, GEOG, LING, PSCI, PSYC, or SOCG.
b. Gen Ed Course Proposal Form
There were two main suggestions for the new form
1. Separate form for each general education category

The committee also agreed to impose moratorium on new course proposals for general education courses until the new general education curriculum is approved by the University Faculty Council.
