1. Some courses may be split into two parts (A and B) and taught in two semesters to accommodate the schedule and learning for performing arts students. In such cases, the course objectives, contents, and total hours of instruction remain the same as if the courses are taught in one semester without splitting.
2. In some cases, a course may be used to meet both the requirements of Gen Ed and a major or minor. In such cases, the credits of the course are counted only once toward the total number of credits for the major or minor.
