The System Guidelines for the Approval of State University General Education Requirement Courses are available at http://www.suny.edu/provost/GeneralEducation/campusgenedresources.cfm.

This document is not a form, but you may find it convenient to use it to create a template for your submissions. Submissions should be made electronically.
