The GESC is only trying to revise a part of an existing policy. Enforcement Some feel the old policy did not work because it was not enforced. Enforcement is covered under the old policy in the appeals section. Institutions will be required to publish their institutional general education policy and tell how it aligns with the state policy and to receive comments on their policy. Opportunities will still exist for differences to be discussed.
Institutions are professionally responsible to meet the policy's requirements.
The enforcement focus is changing from the student to focus on the institution. The new policy is built around transfer of the whole block. Enforcement will now depend on the NCA and institutional agreements. The objective is to have institutions talk to each other without imposing a statewide committee to approve institutional programs. The 1998 Credit Transfer Policy has an appeals process.
