  • Step 4: Make sure if the course you are listing is a General Education requirement, you list the specific requirement it fulfills (e.g., DSHU or DSHS, SCIS) in the "Requirement" box. For other courses "Major," "Minor," "Arts and Humanities," or "Elective" is sufficient. If a course is both, use your best judgment that will help you remember the purpose of the requirement.
