The Office of General Education recently completed a review of student petitions for Common Curriculum (CC) Proficiency and Experiences (P&E) credit. The results showed that 27 SMU courses are frequently petitioned by students as individual activities but do not currently convey CC P&E credit.
Students clearly saw strong connections between these courses and some Common Curriculum P&E learning outcomes. To make things easier for both students and instructors, the General Education office reached out to instructors and department chairs to encourage them to submit course proposals so these requirements will automatically be conveyed to students who achieve a successful course grade.
Our Course Outreach list indicates which course instructors and departments we have reached out to. Academic departments can find detailed instructions on our Course & Experience Proposal webpage. Please refer to the Council on General Education website for any upcoming proposal deadlines.
Together, we can make it easier for students to meet graduation requirements while recognizing the excellent learning experiences already taking place in SMU courses.
For any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
