Biblical, Theological, and Philosophical Formation
Integrative and Applied Learning
I would like to look at the General Education Certification Forms prior to submitting my course in CourseLeaf. Where can I find those forms?
They are in each of the categories, above, or you can go to the GE Resources Page
Okay, I'm ready to submit my course. How do I use Courseleaf to do that?

For additional help contact the Office of Curricular Support (OCS)
What is involved in preparing and submitting the forms?
For each proposal, we will need a syllabus and a completed CourseLeaf course form. It is also a good idea to look at the rubric for your particular course category--that rubric will be the basis by which the GE Curriculum Committee vets course proposals.
Here are the specific steps involved in submitting your course:
- Prepare your syllabus (see above)
- Go to CourseLeaf
- Either select “Propose New Course” or search for your course and select “Edit Course”
- Fill in the questions on the CourseLeaf form.
- When you select “Yes” to answer the “Is this course for General Education?” question, a set of questions will pop down. Answer the questions as completely and accurately as possible.
- At the “Upload Syllabus” button, select your syllabus to upload.
- At the bottom of the page, click “Start Workflow”.
That it! These steps are illustrated in a GE Course (Re)certification Procedures video prepared by Jeff Tirrell.
Technical notes:
- Be sure to hit the white “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the CourseLeaf screen often, especially if you navigate away from the window in which you are working.
