All reports are sent to the UGE Council for review. A copy of the report is mailed to the instructor and Department Head/Chair. The UGE Council makes a final decision regarding the approval status for each UGE course. The Council Chair will send each instructor (of the reviewed course) a letter regarding the outcome of the review process. For those courses taught by a GTA, the Council's letter will go to the department head/chair or the GTA Coordinator for that department.
