Notice
Information in this catalog is subject to change and does not constitute a contract or warranty that the university will continue indefinitely to offer the program in which a student is enrolled. The university expressly reserves the right to change, phase out, or discontinue any policy or program. Such changes take precedence over catalog statements.
This catalog is for the 2024-2025 academic year. Students should keep the catalog for referral throughout their academic career. Students who first enroll at Governors State University during the 2024-2025 academic year must fulfill the requirements stated in this catalog and its updates, as applicable, or they may elect to substitute the requirements in any subsequent catalog published while they are enrolled in the university. A student must, however, meet the requirements from one catalog only, rather than choosing a portion from one catalog and the remainder from another.
The catalog is posted on the GovState website at www.govst.edu/catalog.

Land Usage Statement
Governors State University in University Park occupies land that was originally the ancestral homelands of various Native Nations, including the Bodwéwadmi (Potawatomi), Kaskaskia, Peoria, Myaamia (Miami), Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Sioux), Kiikaapoi (Kickapoo), and many others. As an institution dedicated to education and truth, we acknowledge that European settlers unjustly took control of these lands from their Native inhabitants. The original Native peoples held these lands sacred for thousands of years, and they remain important to Native communities today.
Governors State University resides on land cherished by past, present, and future generations of local Native Peoples. We recognize and respect the many thriving Native communities in the Chicagoland area, which is home to one of the largest urban Native populations representing over 175 Tribal Nations. As part of our commitment to honor the land’s heritage, Governors State University pledges to honor, respect, and share this Land Acknowledgement statement at all public events hosted by GovState.
