Changes in General Education Advising for Spring 2020
This training will allow advisers to hear about recent changes to General Education at UL Lafayette. While the overall structure of the GenEd curriculum has not changed dramatically, the courses that are now recommended and allowed for meeting General Education requirements have changed in some areas, particularly in the 9-credit humanities section. Advisers need to be aware of these changes to guide their students to the classes that will satisfy requirements and speed graduation.
