Course & Program-Specific Information:

HUMA 024 Humanities

• Humanities: An Introduction to Arts and Sciences (HUMA 024) is the General Education foundation course and is designed to introduce students to the breadth of disciplines in the Liberal Arts and Sciences. If a student can demonstrate adequate breadth in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and Natural Sciences—either through a discrete interdisciplinary course or a cluster of courses—the student may qualify for a direct transfer credit from the Humanities course.  If not, the Humanities course will normally be the last General Education transfer credit applied to the student’s record. For example, if a student qualifies for two General Education transfer credits and is in a program that requires two General Education courses and a Humanities, the student would still have to take the HUMA 024 Humanities course to satisfy the program requirements; in this case, only if a third transfer credit is granted, would an exemption from HUMA 024 Humanities be granted.

Program-Designated General Education Courses and Credit

• A program-designated General Education course is a particular General Education course that a student must take as a requirement of the program. For example, in the Paramedic program, PSYC 121 Applied Psychology is a program-designated General Education course that all students in the Paramedic program must take.
• Students will normally receive transfer credit for a program-designated course, if and only if, the course meets ALL of the specific learning outcomes as stated in the program-designated course outline.
• If credit is granted for a program-designated General Education course, the course used as the basis for granting credit cannot be used for additional credit toward a General Education course that is not program-designated. For example, if credit for PSYC 121 is granted, the course used in applying for the credit cannot be used for any additional credit within the same program.
• Students who take program-designated General Education courses cannot take the same course for General Education credit. For example, students in the Child and Youth Worker program are required to take PSYC 001 Psychology: An Introduction and are, therefore, restricted from taking PSYC 001 for General Education credit.

Appeal Process:

• If transfer credit is not granted, the student can contact the appropriate Coordinator or Associate Dean to discuss why credit was denied.
