Academic Policies

Students must meet all the requirements for a degree outlined in the current version of the University Catalog upon admission to the University. Students whose residence is interrupted for two regular semesters and those students changing majors or changing from undecided status to a major must abide by the current Catalog at the time of re-entry or change. Under no circumstances may a Catalog more than eight years old be used.
