General Education Course Approval Process

For Advisees

Please note that students cannot receive General Education credit for a course that transfers in as an equivalent to a UNK course that is not in the General Education program.  If a student has questions about a course that transfers in as a general elective, they can contact the Director of General Education (general.education@unk.edu)

LOPR 126 Waivers for students who started at UNK before Fall 2025. Only LOPR 126 fulfills the LOPER 1 requirement for these students. However, this course is no longer offered. The LOPR 126 requirement may be waived for students who:

  • Have an entry term before Fall 2025 
  • Take and pass LNSK 103 or a LOPER 11 Wellness class (FIN 160, KSS or PE 150, NUTR or PE 108, PSY 231)

These students must still complete at least 30 credit hours of General Education coursework and fulfill LOPERs 2-10 requirements.

To request a LOPR 126 waiver, complete this waiver request form.

Do this after the student has received a grade in LNSK 103 or a LOPER 11 class.
