Beginning in Academic Year 2019–20, Information Literacy: Computer Programming and its Applications is now a compulsory general education course for all students except international students and continuing education undergraduate students. Please visit the General Education webpage for a list of departments that are exempt from the course. All freshmen at the University will automatically be pre-enrolled in the course. The course is conducted in two sessions, with the first taking place in the first nine weeks of the semester and the second in the last nine weeks.

Cancellations of and classroom changes for existing general education courses will be announced.

Each student may take up to one physical education (PE) course of their choice per semester. Daytime undergraduate students may not select PE courses designated for continuing education undergraduate students, and vice versa. Please select PE courses via the academic system within the course selection period stipulated by the Division of Curriculum. Students admitted in or after Academic Year 2022–23 must take two semesters of PE courses before graduation, with up to two additional PE credits counting toward a student’s graduation credits (only if permitted by the student’s department). The University also offers Interaction Adjustment courses for students who are unable to take part in regular PE courses. Transfer students, readmitted students, and students who have been approved to take PE courses at another institution domestically or abroad, may apply to transfer PE credits within the application period stipulated by the University. Please refer to the course selection notice for matters related to clothing requirements for PE classes and other course-specific regulations.
