Non-Governed Tabs

Programs should not put governed content in non-governed tabs. For example, do not list requirements in the overview or funding tabs. This article refers to non-governed content in the Graduate Guide, including degrees/majors, doctoral minors, graduate/professional certificates, and capstone certificates.

Programs must edit non-governed tabs in the Guide editing environment. If you do not have access to this system, refer to the Lumen/Guide Access KB.
