General Education Requirements (Link to the current Undergraduate Catalog)
General Education Checklist (a handy way for you to keep track of your gen ed courses)
Undergraduate students who are considering taking general education courses at an area community college during the summer may wish to visit http://www.itransfer.org, the state website for course articulation (transfer) between colleges. You can find exactly what community college course equals what NIU course at this site, and thus make sure that you are taking a course that will count for your NIU degree requirements. REMEMBER to have the Registrar of the community college send a transcript to the NIU Office of Registration and Records after your summer grades are posted. Students should also review NIU transfer policies in the Academic Regulations section of the Undergraduate Catalog.
Each of these topics will open in a new window in a printable (.pdf) format.
