New Core Opt-In Guidelines
New Core Opt-In Guidelines
Mandatory Core Opt-In Statement (please use this statement when asked about Core Opt-In before SP22)
In the Summer / Fall 2021 semesters, all students--except for those enrolled in the Core Pilot--should follow the core requirements under which they were admitted (the current core). Students/advisors should not anticipate that students will be allowed to opt in.
A limited number of students entering SLU Summer/Fall 2021 or later will be determined eligible to opt-in to the New Core.
Please note: NO Current Students (entering SLU before Summer/Fall 2021) will be eligible.
The University will decide the exact parameters for who can opt-in to the New Core after completion and assessment of the Fall 2021 Core Pilot (announcement on opt-in forthcoming Spring 22).
There will likely be an "earned hours" maximum.
If students are allowed to opt in, their previous core coursework will be mapped to the new requirements.
