• Course-based Focus approvals that are active and which will be added to all sections of the course for the duration of the approval period
• Course-based Focus approvals that are expiring or have expired and which need to be renewed
• Instructor-based Focus approvals that are active and which will be added to only that instructor’s section(s) of the course

Additional notes:

• If an instructor-based Focus approval should not be added, the department and instructor must notify the Gen Ed Office prior to the posting of Class Availability.
• The Focus Status List should not be used to determine whether or not a section had a Focus in a given semester. Its primary purpose is to inform departments about their Focus approvals and when they need to be renewed.
• The majority of expired instructor-based approvals do not appear on the list because they can no longer be renewed.
• Courses with student- and/or semester-specific content (e.g., variable topics courses, Study Abroad courses, 399/499 courses) are normally approved for only one semester and also do not appear on the list.
• Approvals are “good” through the end of the term indicated.
