<p>There is a new GE Policy that will be effective for Fall 2012.
Overview</a> of General Education Requirements (Effective Fall 2008)</p>

<p>This new policy will make is so that students will only have to take 1 science lab with either physical or life science. Students still have to take the other class that didn't have a lab. For example, taking a lab with a life science course and then taking a non lab physical science course. </p>

<p>Does this new policy affect all students? I am a entering my sophomore year this fall with 50 units. Will this new GE policy count towards me? I already went to the site and this is what they said:
"Note: For students under GE patterns prior to Fall 2012, courses in this category may only be used to meet GE Elective requirements." </p>

<hr>

<p>For Category C (arts and humanities), can you take 3 units for Art, and then 6 units for Humanities(that's in the same category)? Such as, I take 3 units for Art 110, then I take 6 units from Philosophy. The school site said: "In this category students must complete 6 units in either Arts or Humanities and 3 units in the other area." </p>

<p>Sorry for so many questions! I already send a question to my adviser and I am waiting for her reply.</p>
