Catalog eligibility
To earn a graduate degree, students must meet the degree requirements published in a single, valid PSU Bulletin (catalog). The requirements in a catalog are valid for seven years; for example, the 2020-21 Bulletin can be used through summer 2027 graduation. Students can only use a catalog year during which they were both admitted and enrolled.
At the time a graduate program has a change to their curriculum approved, they may set more restrictive limits about which set of requirements (catalog year) can be used.
