USG Core IMPACTS Syllabus Statement Requirements for Fall Core Classes

Are you teaching a core course in the fall? If so, do you know about the new USG Core IMPACTS requirements? Please look over the information below and reach out to your department and CETLOE for support.

For the Spring 2024 semester and beyond, all syllabi for courses in the core curriculum are required to include a Core IMPACTS curriculum statement that identifies the following as stated by the USG:

• the Core IMPACTS area;
• the provided two-sentence description of the meaning and purpose of Core IMPACTS;
• the broad orienting question for the course’s area in Core IMPACTs
• the learning outcome for the course’s area in Core IMPACTs; and
• the three career-ready competencies for the course’s area in Core IMPACTs.

Instructors can also attach career-ready competencies in their Core IMPACTS course to individual assignments in iCollege.

• View a step-by-step walkthrough for adding these competencies.
• For additional information, make an appointment with a learning technologist.

Faculty must use the USG language provided in the Core IMPACTS Template posted on CETLOE's Syllabus page.
