四級全人教育選修課程之審議機制：依據慈濟大學課程委員會組織規程、慈濟大學博雅天空書院課程委員會設置辦法、慈濟大學通識課程規劃辦法以及慈濟大學通識教育中心課程教學研究會設置辦法，本校全人教育選修課程之審議機制分為三級：

(2)通識教育中心課程委員會：每學期至少開會一次。
(3)博雅天空書院課程委員會：每學期至少開會一次。

依據「慈濟大學通識課程開設辦法」，每學期第3週，本中心視不同類科課程需求，向全校發出課程徵求公告；教師得依專長向本中心申請開課。授課教師將「教學綱要」及教師學術專長相關資料提交通識教育中心，由各課群教學研究會審議，確認該課程的教育目標及可達成之基本素養合乎本中心及學生之需求，審查委員並需填寫「課程審查意見表」，再次確認該課程符合本中心及學生之需求後，由本中心彙整意見，提交授課教師參考並針對意見回覆。
教學研究會針對授課教師回覆之意見審議後，交由通識中心課程委員會審核。
通識中心課程委員會完成審核後，交由博雅天空書院課程委員會、校級課程委員會審議完成後，課程始得開設。
The Deliberation Mechanism for TCU’s Four-Level Holistic Education Elective Curriculum
In accordance with the Tzu Chi University Curriculum Committee Organization Regulations, Tzu Chi University Lyceum of Humanities and Arts Curriculum Committee Establishment Guidelines, Tzu Chi University General Education Curriculum Planning Guidelines, and Tzu Chi University General Education Center General Education Curriculum Planning Group Establishment Guidelines, the deliberation mechanism for the university’s holistic education elective curriculum is divided into four levels:
- Teaching and Research Meeting: Convened at least once per semester.
- General Education Center Curriculum Committee: Convened at least once per semester.
- Lyceum of Humanities and Arts Curriculum Committee: Convened at least once per semester.
- University-Level Curriculum Committee: Convened at least once per semester.
According to the Tzu Chi University Guidelines for Offering General Education Courses, during the third week of each semester, the General Education Center issues an open call for course proposals based on the needs of various curriculum categories. Faculty members may submit course applications to the General Education Center according to their areas of expertise.
Course instructors are required to submit a “syllabus” and relevant academic qualifications to the General Education Center. These materials are reviewed by the General Education Curriculum Planning Groups for each curriculum category. The review ensures that the course’s educational objectives and core competencies align with the center’s and students’ needs. Reviewers must complete a “Course Review Feedback Form” to confirm the course’s alignment with these requirements. The General Education Center consolidates the feedback and provides it to the instructor, who must respond to the feedback accordingly.
Once the instructor’s responses have been reviewed, the center compiles the courses approved by the curriculum planning groups and submits them to the General Education Center Curriculum Committee for further evaluation.
After the General Education Center Curriculum Committee completes its review, the courses are submitted to the Lyceum of Humanities and Arts Curriculum Committee and the University-Level Curriculum Committee for final deliberation. Only after completing these steps can the courses be officially offered.
