I took a course here that seems to fit the description of a category perfectly, but it isnt showing up on my audit as fulfilling the requirement. What should I do?
There are a number of specific criteria that a course needs to fulfill in order to be included in the General Education program; some criteria are locally determined by faculty and administrators on this campus and some are determined by SUNY system administrators. So, there are a range of factors that could lead to a course seeming to fit a category but not being designated as a part of the General Education program. At the same time, if a course does reflect the goals and content of a General Education course, it should be considered for the program. If you think the course you took could substitute in a General Education category, bring a copy of the course description or syllabus to the Office of Undergraduate Studies in LC30 and make an appointment to speak to someone further.

If you think the course you took could substitute in a General Education category, you may petition to have it reviewed by the General Education Committee. You will need to provide a syllabus for the course you took. Before you submit a petition for a course in LC30, be sure to review the General Education requirements and the associated Learning Objectives for each category.
