Catalog Requirements and Time Limits
Degree requirements and other university regulations are established by the catalog current at the time of initial enrollment, and the student is entitled to complete requirements under the catalog within an eight-year period. The student may elect to satisfy requirements under the latest catalog, provided all requirements of the current catalog elected are satisfied within an eight-year period. Students who fail to complete requirements under one catalog within the eight-year period must fulfill requirements of the current catalog. Students whose eight-year catalog entitlement expires as a result of discontinued enrollment are subject to the requirements of the catalog current at the time of re- enrollment.
Students who transfer to another institution lose entitlement under the catalog of initial entry and, upon readmission, are governed by the catalog current at that time. The institution reserves the right to correct, alter, amend or modify any item contained in the catalog. Any such changes will be shown in the schedule book of classes or in the correction sheet to the schedule book and on the student’s individual program of study (graduation checklist).
*Candidates for graduate degrees must:
- Complete all requirements set forth by the faculty of the college or school which offers the degree.
- Complete all work within a time limitation of eight years.
- Make application for graduation through the Office of the Registrar.
- Fulfill all financial obligations to the university.
*See graduate catalog.
Curriculum changes made pursuant to federal and state governmental agencies are exceptions to the student’s entitlement to complete requirements under the catalog current at the time of initial enrollment.
