General Education COVID-19 update:
The General Education office is operating at normal capacity, but we have shifted our operations to take place at a distance, in keeping with best practices recommended during the COVID-19 outbreak. What else would you expect from the program that brought you a Science, Technology and Society requirement?
As always, petition requests are best arranged via the General Education requirement petition form (www.wou.edu/gened/petitions-form). If you are seeking help with a General Education question and would like to book a web-based appointment session please use the WCS link in your WOU portal or contact our office at gened@wou.edu.

Your academic advisor is still your first stop for help with General Education requirements. We encourage you to make sure you check in with them before submitting a petition request.
