Does the institution formally designate sustainability courses in its standard course catalog or listings?:
A brief description of the formal sustainability course designation program, including the methodology used to identify and approve courses for inclusion:
Beginning in Fall 2015, all newly matriculating undergraduate students must satisfy the Sustainability requirement before they can graduate. Students can meet the requirement by taking a Sustainability course, curriculum or co-curricular module approved by the Faculty Senate’s Sustainability Curriculum Review Committee (SCRC) and noted by the designation SU in its title. Students, including transfer students, will be able to petition the SCRC for Sustainability transfer credit for a course taken at another accredited institution, or a non-course alternative experience that the student feels meets the criteria set by the SCRC. The SU courses are listed online and in the University Catalog in time for use at Orientation sessions.
Does the institution designate sustainability courses on student transcripts?:
