The School of Undergraduate Studies is in the process of establishing university-wide faculty committees to guide the implementation and assessment of each flag, in accordance with the criteria set by the Faculty Council and Undergraduate Studies Advisory Committee.

¹ Each college and school is implementing these new requirements on a different timeline. Consequently, during the implementation period, certain majors may require fewer flags than others. Consult the current Undergraduate Catalog for more information.
