The document provides information about CSULB's general education (GE) policy and changes to the policy. It discusses the differences between the old 2012 GE policy and the new 2019 policy. Key changes include GE areas now being divided by letter (A-F) instead of category, SLOs now focusing specifically on GE areas rather than essential skills, and major prerequisites now being allowed for upper division GE courses. It provides tips for developing a successful GE course proposal, including conforming to GE and area criteria and including measurable SLOs based on GE learning outcomes. The review and approval process is also outlined.
