General Education Requirements
-
For Students admitted in 2009-10 or before (3-year programs)
For students admitted in 2009-10 or before (except those mentioned in the note below), the general education (GE) requirements in their program is stated as a set of school-based distributional requirements. They need to take a specified number of GE courses and credits outside their own School. The requirements vary from one program to another.
Students could find out the GE requirements for their program from the current (2013-14) issue of the Undergraduate Curriculum Handbook
published online.
Note: For those who are admitted in 2009-10 to the Preparatory Year of the 120-credit programs or the dual degree program, the general education (GE) requirements shown above
do not apply to this group of students. They are considered as students admitted in 2010-11, and should follow the common core requirement shown
here .
Completing the requirements
Students complete the GE requirements by selecting courses from the list of designated general education courses, and complete them in the academic year in which they are so designated. GE courses are designated by the University every year. It is possible that a course designated as a GE course in one year may be removed from the list in the following year. Students CANNOT use courses that are not included on the list for the specific year to satisfy the GE requirements.
Before course registration, students should check the designated general education course lists to ensure that they are selecting current designated general education courses to satisfy the GE requirement. Students may also find out from these lists whether a course taken in previous years can be used to satisfy the GE requirements.
