Advising Using the New General Education List 2010-11

The “New” General Education Course List appearing in the 2010-11 Catalog has undergone some changes. The structure of the program (Foundations and Distributions) remains the same; however, some courses (shown below) are no longer part of the updated General Education Program.

Beginning Fall 2010, all students, regardless of year of entry, are encouraged to select courses from the General Education List in the 2010-2011 Catalog:

1) The General Education Course List 2010-11 (as it appears in the 2010-2011 MC Catalog)

2) * General Education Course List 2010-2011 with Transfer Advising Notes * for students who are undecided about a transfer destination or who are considering transfer to schools outside of the State of Maryland * This is the Preferred Page to give to students - and it fits on just two sides of a paper!

Students who enrolled at Montgomery College prior to Fall 2010 are encouraged to follow the new list above; however, they may continue to choose courses from last year's 2009-10 General Education List for six more years (until Fall 2016) if they do not have a 2 year break in attendance. The specific courses from which they may choose are shown below. Use a color printer to print your own Adviser’s Reference List with highlighted gen ed courses no longer available to NEW students here.

Please note that Degree Audits run through Banner (CAPP) will not automatically pick up these removed courses if they are taken in Fall 2010 and thereafter. Counselors will need to refer to the Gen Ed List to make the distinction for the 24 removed courses shown below - if they are taken after Fall 2010 by students who enrolled prior to Fall 2010, they will still qualify as General Education courses, but they are not coded as Gen Ed in Banner if taken Fall 2010 and thereafter.

Thank you for your help in guiding students through these first significant changes in the General Education Program since 1996 – 14 years ago!

Hopefully, this sounds more complicated than it really is – please see the list of course changes shown below. Faculty teaching courses on the “old” list will be asked to provide information on the course syllabus stating “This course satisfies a General Education Distribution Requirement only for students who entered Montgomery College prior to Fall 2010. It is not a General Education Course choice for students new to MC in Fall 2010 and thereafter.”

What’s the Difference Between the 2010 and the 2009 Catalog Year Lists?

Some courses have been removed from the General Education Program as part of the updating process (see Gen Ed Criteria used). In general, “second-level” courses were removed (except in science), courses did not reapply for the new list, or courses were moved to another Distribution.
