If you follow the link below and click on the above you will find the Special Curriculum Form with the Proposed GE Program. The "Program Guidelines" and "Table of Mission ... SLOs)" are the attachments to the curriculum form.
Also on this page you will find DRAFT versions of possible curriculum forms to be used when courses are aligned to the Goal Areas. These are included so faculty and departments can start to prepare to submit the finalized forms for the alignment process. The General Education Committee hopes these will be helpful in expediting the process of alignment since we are operating under a deadline and must have the new program in place for next Fall Semester.
