Antiracism, Diversity, and Inclusivity (ADI) Graduation Requirement

Starting AY 2024-2025, students entering Central Washington University will be required to complete a minimum of 4-credits from the approved CWU anti-racism, diversity, and inclusivity (ADI) courses. Students will be allowed to take an approved ADI course from any department, including those outside their college.

Transfer students may substitute ADI courses they have completed at other institutions of higher learning provided the course(s) meet the CWU ADI learner outcomes. Courses at CWU not currently on the ADI approved course list may also be substituted provided their content aligns with CWU ADI learner outcomes. A petition must be completed, and approval will be made by the Faculty Senate ADI Committee.
