Gen Eds and College Requirements
To adjust to K-State’s new general education system, K-State Core, which will go into effect Fall 2024, we are establishing a new set of college requirements. Information about progress is on our Degree Requirements page.
The first read and discussion happened at the Sept. 7 faculty meeting. A second meeting will be held Sept. 28 to vote on the requirements.
Every program must provide a catalog update that aligns it with the new gen eds, incorporates the updated college requirements, and shows all 120 CH of requirements for the degree. If a program offers both BA and BS, we must submit a separate set of requirements for each degree by November.
It is very important for all ArtSci faculty and advisors to be aware of and provide input on these curricular developments, both within your units and at the college level. Please note faculty meeting dates and watch for updates.

New employees (since August), the coverage you selected for 2023 does not roll over to next year; you must re-enroll. If your coverage is effective Sept., Oct., Nov. or Dec. 2023, you will have two portals to enroll in.
J1 visa holders, Plan J continues to meet Department of State requirements.
If you’re leaving K-State at semester’s end, we suggest you log in and waive coverage for 2023 to avoid paying premiums when you don’t have insurance.
