Academic regulations are subject to change. Students may choose to graduate according to the academic regulations stated in the catalog that is active their first semester of enrollment or in any later catalog that becomes active before they graduate. However, if a student is withdrawn from the college or has taken a leave of absence for a period greater than 5 years, that student is placed into the catalog that is active upon readmission. Students are not permitted to satisfy requirements by mixing catalogs. Students must choose one catalog and meet all graduation requirements from that catalog. It is the responsibility of students, aided by their advisors, to familiarize themselves with academic regulations and to plan courses of study that meet all departmental and College graduation requirements.
