Curriculum and Registration

Curriculum

  • Undergraduate catalog
  • Catalog year – Upon matriculation, students have seven calendar years to complete requirements for a bachelor’s degree and are eligible to elect to follow degree requirements from any subsequent catalog within those seven years with consultation with an advisor or academic assistant dean. Students are not eligible to enter programs (majors/minors/concentrations) that have been disestablished by the Faculty Senate if not already declared within those programs prior to the term the disestablishment is effective. Students who fail to complete degree requirements within seven calendar years relinquish the right to graduate under the requirements set forth in the catalog at their time of matriculation and may be held to current degree requirements. Exceptions for a student using a catalog that is more than seven years old must be approved by the student’s academic assistant dean. If a student loses matriculation, an application for readmission is required. Students accepted for readmission will be held to the degree requirements in place at the time of readmission.
