First-Year Learning Communities
Although FLCs should be conceptualized by faculty and students as a single year-long course, FLCs consist of two semesters with A and B suffixes. The A and B components of an FLC must be submitted on separate GE Revision Forms in Curriculog because of how Curriculog links to other systems at the University (e.g. scheduling, faculty contracting, student records, etc.). The FLC syllabus and FLC Course Content form will span the full year of the FLC. These can be added to either the A or B (or both) Curriculog entries.
