Learning Beyond The Classroom

Learning Beyond The Classroom

Before linking to any of the components to the left, please access and review the Learning Beyond the Classroom Manual for Faculty and Staff. Please follow these steps to submit a LBC course or experience to be considered for inclusion in the General Education program. Once you have determined your course of action, make use of the resources at the right to get a course, program, or experience approved for Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) credit. For further assistance, contact Jessica (Decky) Alexander, Chair of the Gen Ed LBC Subcommittee.

1. Complete the LBC - either course or non-course - inclusion form
2. Seek departmental/school input and have DH/SC sign inclusion form
3. The department forwards electronic copy and signed hard copy to the Course & Program Development Office
4. Select one option:
   1. If an existing course, the Course & Program Development Office submits electronic copy to Chair of the Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) subcommittee and forwards signed hard copy to the General Education Program Director
   2. If a new course, the Course & Program Development Office holds the Gen Ed course inclusion form until course becomes officially approved through the university input system
5. The LBC subcommittee reviews the inclusion form and submits feedback to the author
6. Once approved by the LBC subcommittee, the course or experience is reviewed for approval by the General Education Advisory Council, who in turn, forwards to the Provost's office for final approval
