What do the new GE Pathways mean to me?

If you entered the university prior to fall 2012, your catalog requirements have not changed. You do not have to complete a GE Pathway.

You do, however, have to complete an Upper Division Theme, which is a challenge because the themes no longer exist after spring 2012.

Here’s how to proceed:

Go to www.csuchico.edu/ge/pathways
Click on the “Crosswalk guide” in the highlighted box at lower left

The Crosswalk guide has all the Upper Division Themes listed, along with courses that previously counted for them. If you’ve taken a course or two for a theme, it still counts. You just need to choose your remaining course(s) from the GE Pathways suggested in the Crosswalk Guide.

Major Clearance

The electronic version of your Degree Progress Report will serve as your major clearance form. It is available for you to view online through your portal account.

As part of the journalism department's mandatory advising program, you are required to complete the Graduation plan for journalism majors (.pdf) by using your DPR to plan your last two semesters at Chico State. Your task is to list all classes that are needed to remove the "red lights" listed in your DPR. You also need to assure that your DPR is correct.

Download the following form, complete it, and see your journalism adviser.

Hints for completing the form and graduating on time:

Check that course substitutions in the major have been listed.
Look for any other missing courses that might have been left off your DPR.
File a written minor clearance form. Visit the department of your minor for more information.
See your journalism adviser to review your plans and make corrections in your DPR. Bring the signed form to the journalism office.
