Undergraduate Student Events

The Office of General Education offers student specific workshops.


Below you can read more about our student workshops and Common Curriculum Pop-Ups.

These student workshops are dedicated to the course petitioning process. They will also cover Degree Progress Reports (DPR) and Transfer Evaluation Records (TER). Please see our upcoming petition workshops:
