For students in need of their HES GEP credits, HES is offering a wide variety of asynchronous online summer 1 and 2 courses and a select few F2F offerings. Students (particularly graduating seniors) preferring an online course option should look at the summer session offerings as we will not be able to offer as many online options in Fall 2024 as we have in the past few semesters.
In addition, in Fall we will be offering two new HES GEP courses listed below. Of note, HESF 115 provides the two HES GEP credit hours in the one course and is ideal for incoming freshman/sophomores.
