Foundations Curriculum Changes

Changes to general education courses no longer need a separate Kuali submission. Instead, please submit a standard Kuali course proposal and fill out the GEC fields (as well as your other changes to that course, if applicable).

Please reach out to universityfoundations@boisestate.edu before submitting changes to foundations designations. This helps the process go smoothly. There are three types of foundations curriculum changes: adding, removing, or renewing a foundations designation. A course with a foundations designation is a general education course and labelled as:

  • FA – Foundations of Art
  • FC – Foundations of Oral Communication
  • FF – Finishing Foundations
  • FH – Foundations of Humanities
  • FM – Foundations of Mathematics
  • FN – Foundations of Natural, Physical, and Applied Sciences
  • FS – Foundations of Social Sciences
  • FW – Foundations of Written Communication
  • UF – University Foundations
