<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">A general education petition will not be needed for students that complete Tier One general education courses with the same letter (i.e. two 150A courses). Starting Fall 2016 the ADVIPs will automatically populate
the courses in the corresponding section, instead of defaulting one into the additional course work section.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Students that plan to graduate prior to August 2016 will need a course exception (refer them to Kristen Geary or myself). A petition will not be needed though, we’ll just enter the course exception per student
or advisor request.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">As I informed you last month, Tier One Study Area requirements will officially change as of Fall 2016. Although new and continuing students won’t see the revisions on their UAccess Academic Advisement Reports
for another year, current students may take advantage of the simplified Study Area requirements if they wish.
