Application and Revisions

The university will revise its catalog from time to time in order to provide students current and complete information. UMHB reserves the right to add, delete, or amend provisions at any time regarding requirements, deadlines, fees, curricula, courses, housing, or other information. Students are expected to remain familiar with the contents of this catalog as it is amended from time to time.

The University’s general policy is to apply the academic course requirements for a University degree, as stated in the catalog in effect upon the student’s initial enrollment with degree seeking status, for a period of six years from the student’s enrollment. A student who fails to complete the required work for a degree in the six-year period dating from the academic catalog of the students selected degree plan will be moved to a newer academic catalog. The same catalog will be in force for the entire degree; in other words, a student must use the same catalog for both the major and minor requirements. New or different requirements may be imposed in certain certificate or licensure programs in order to comply with state, federal, or accreditation requirements.

With respect to all other matters, including academic standards, classroom expectations and ethics, academic appeals, and other academic policies, the most recent catalog is always controlling.
