Effective Catalog Policy
Each student must follow the requirements in effect at the time of initial enrollment in a program of study and is expected to complete the program within five catalog years. A student who does not complete the requirements within five catalog years will be analyzed for graduation using the catalog requirements in effect upon re-enrollment after the expiration of the initial effective catalog.
If a student's program of study becomes inactive and the student has not been continuously enrolled, the ability to resume studies in the inactive program may not be available to the student. Continuous enrollment for this purpose is considered enrollment in at least one course per major semester (fall and spring) during an academic year.
As program requirements change, the student may wish to change to a newer catalog year. A student may request to move to a newer catalog year by meeting with an advisor or the appropriate Department Head who will review the new program requirements with the student.
