1. Students taking nine or more credits in a specific subject area, even though the courses are not designated as General Education courses, will have met the general education requirements for that subject area. For example, a student may complete C S 171, 272, and 273 (12 hours) and thereby satisfy the Computer Science category, even though none of these courses carries a G suffix. For Mathematics, alternative courses must be numbered 115 or above for the 9-hour rule. Basic Skills Requirements are still in effect. For the Viewing a Wider World category, the 9 credit hours must be in 300- to 400-level courses in one prefix area. For example, 9 upper-division ECON credits would fulfill one VWW area for students majoring in colleges other than BA&E.

2. Students who wish to be given credit for a general education course without enrolling in it may request to challenge it.

3. Students who have successfully completed Advanced Placement or CLEP requirements in areas appropriate to General Education may be exempt from certain GE requirements, upon approval by the dean of the student's college.
