The Office of General Education is passionate about helping students complete their Proficiency & Experience (P&E) requirements through co-curricular activities. Our Common Curriculum Reading program offers undergraduate students a unique opportunity to join a reading group focusing on books relevant to SMU’s P&Es.
These student workshops are dedicated to the course petitioning process. They will also cover Degree Progress Reports (DPR) and Transfer Evaluation Records (TER). Please see our upcoming petition workshops:
- February 6, 2024 from 2pm-3pm in Hughes-Trigg room 130

If students aren't able to attend our workshops we offer Pop-Ups during each term. These are 2 hour long tabling events where students can stop by and ask any questions regarding their curriculum.
