Engineering General Education Exception Form

Please note, this form is for students who are either pre- or full major status in the John and Marcia Price College of Engineering. Students who are not a part of PCOE should contact their major advisor or the Academic Advising Center.

  • Select the General Education code that matches the requirement you want this course to satisfy.
  • Provide a concise (1-2 paragraph) description of the course.
  • Attach a concise, but compelling argument that includes the following:
      • An explanation of how the appealed course fulfills the criteria for the requirement.
      • It may also be helpful to find a similar course taught at the University of Utah.
  • Attach the course syllabus.
  • Attach your Degree Audit Report. Save and submit in PDF or other digital format.
  • If you are a second Bachelor’s degree student, please upload an unofficial or official transcript from the transfer institution which shows course and grade.
