Students whose first enrollment (anywhere) in college  or university was in the Fall of 1996 or after, must complete at least one general education core course that has been designated as multicultural intensive.  Course sections designated as multicultural intensive are usually sections "M" followed by another letter:  frequently they are "MC" sections.

Students who have completed their general education program without a multicultural intensive section of a general education course can meet this requirement by taking a course selected from the Ethnic/Gender Studies section of the class schedule of classes. 

Transfer students falling under this regulation may meet the requirement by either taking a repeat section of a General Education "M_" course, or by enrolling in any of the upper division Ethnic/Gender Studies Courses.

Transfer students who meet the Regents articulation agreement do not need to fulfill this requirement.
