6. KU Core: Important Notes
Some courses may count for multiple learner outcomes
HOWEVER, you can only count a Core course once
You pick where you want the course to count
E.g., LING 106 meets Goal 1 (Outcome 1) and Goal 4 (Outcome 2)
You can only count it in one place
YOU choose EITHER Goal 1 or Goal 4
Your DPR will make an initial placement for you based on where it “thinks” you need to use it.

7. KU Core: Important Notes
Major and Minor requirements can meet KU Core requirements
E.g., SPLH 261 and SPLH 566 meet Goal 3 Social and Behavioral Sciences
SPLH 497, SPLH 498 and SPLH 660 meet Goal 6
You do NOT have to choose here
The course can count for KU Core and for your Major/Minor requirements

8. KU Core Important Notes
New courses are being added to KU Core
Courses that you have taken that don’t currently count, COULD count in the future
re-check regularly (e.g., end of this semester, middle of next semester) to see if any of your completed courses fulfill Core requirements
