The university needs additional time to set up the new summer course offerings and fee structure.

The BroncoDirect Class Search has Course Attribute filters, which you can use to look for specific GE designations. You can also review a course’s details to see if it has a specific GE designation. You can also see the 2023-24 General Education list in the University Catalog. You can review your Degree Progress Report in your Student Center to see which GE areas you may need to work on.

 If you have additional questions about General Education, contact the Bronco Advising Center.

The charts will be available on the Student Accounting & Cashiering Services website in the coming weeks.

Summer classes are self-supported. The state is not providing any funding for the faculty salaries or the other costs of running a course in summer.  Independent Study classes require significant extra fees because the faculty salary needs to be supported by a very small number of students.  The basic tuition fees for lecture and seminar classes do not cover the additional costs of other course types.
