Our Best Answer - I took a course that should apply to a certain area of my General Education requirements, but I don’t see it there.

General Education Course Credit Allocation

The course may be applying to a different General Education area. Some courses can apply to more than one Gen Ed area, but not at the same time. For example, if you took an Art History course that is listed as satisfying both Area E and Area F, the Degree Audit or Progress Check may apply it to Area E, even though you would prefer it to go to Area F. But don’t worry! If you take enough other Area E courses to satisfy this requirement without using the Art History course, the Degree Audit will automatically move this course into Area F. However, if the course in question is not applying to any other Gen Ed requirements either, you should contact your college advisor to find out why.
