Curriculum Enhancement Program  

The purpose of the Curriculum Enhancement Program (CEP) is to enrich the student’s academic experience by providing co-curricular opportunities that reinforce the educational and personal development of students within the framework of the 18 Common Learning Outcomes (CLOs) as outlined in the AU Gold Core Curriculum. Students will participate in required CEPs designed to assist with the transition into the AU community, promote professional readiness, and foster financial literacy. In addition to the required CEPs, students will attend at least 11 CEPs from the Student Selected offerings on campus. 

Successful completion of the Curriculum Enhancement Program is required in order to graduate from Anderson University. All traditional, full-time, degree seeking students must participate in a minimum of twenty-four (24) approved CEPs to be eligible for graduation. If a full-time, degree seeking student, transfers to Post Traditional, this student is responsible for completing the required CEPs for the semesters they were a full-time, degree seeking student. Students who do not complete this graduation requirement will not be eligible for graduation until the requirements have been completed. Successful completion of the program is required for graduation. Students will not be allowed to graduate until they satisfy the degree requirements.

There are no exemptions for this graduation requirement. Students who fail to meet the CEP requirements as outlined or students who violate the Community Values and Expectations while in attendance at a CEP will be subject to discipline in the Office of Student Development. Students who are 25 years or older are not required to complete CEP credits beginning with the semester AFTER they turn 25, but are strongly encouraged to participate as part of their educational experience.

Students can find the weekly list of CEP location and times on AUnited, the 411 email, and the CEP Calendar on the CEP webpage on Anderson University’s website.

Students should arrive at the event on time; students that arrive after the CEP begins will not receive credit for the event. Students must also be in attendance for the duration of the event.

Students that try to present the AU ID of another student will be referred to the Office of Student Development for disciplinary follow-up, and potential loss of 3 CEPs for each student.

CEP credits will be tracked electronically in the student’s CEP account.

Students are responsible for monitoring their credits online and must fulfill their CEP requirements prior to graduation.

Students receive credit for CEPs by scanning their AU ID card at the end of each event. It is the student’s responsibility to have their IDs scanned by the CEP student employee. If a student does not have their AU ID on them at the end of the event, they will not receive CEP credit for the event.
