Activities

This page will be updated each time an activity is proposed, approved, or removed from satisfying a requirement in the University Curriculum (UC). Take note of the effective dates. Activities will not automatically satisfy UC requirements, contact the supervising office for each activity to submit the materials necessary to justify your successful completion of the approved activity.

Note to Students: If you have participated in one of these approved activities and you want to use it to satisfy one or more UC proficiencies, please go first to the office or department sponsoring the activity and get from them both the cover sheet that should accompany your request and any supporting documentation. We look forward to learning about what you have done!
