  • Refer to the online schedule of classes to see which courses are being offered for a specific term and to double check which GE requirements the course satisfies during that term.
  • Be aware that the GE Category (A-E) requirements must each be satisfied by a unique course.

  • Additional General Education Requirements should be met by courses also meeting the GE Category requirements to minimize the number of units needed.

    See Previous Courses to research courses that previously met GE requirements.
  • Students should regularly run their Academic Requirements Report on to monitor their completion of all degree requirements including General Education.
