Policy
(1) General Education Approval Effective Date.
A. The electronic catalog is the official compilation for all curriculum. The electronic catalog will become available at the end of spring quarter of each year. General education requirement changes will become effective in the fall quarter following publication in the official electronic catalog.
(2) Changes to the general education program will be implemented in the fall quarter following publication in the official electronic catalog. Courses added to the program may be used by students regardless of the student’s program year, as long as the student takes the course after it is added to the general education program. Courses moved between general education components will be applied to the student’s academic requirements report based on student’s program year.
(3) General Education Deadlines.
A. The General Education Committee (GEC), in consultation with the Faculty Senate Executive Committee, will establish annual deadlines for general education course submissions. Once a year, GEC will review submissions and prepare a program change proposal, which must be submitted to the FSCC by the established curriculum deadlines (CWU 501-03(2)).
