Academic requirements may change with each edition of the college catalog. Students who are continually enrolled may elect to graduate under any catalog at or after initial entry. Students whose enrollment has been interrupted for one or more academic years must follow the graduation requirements of the catalog at the time of re-entry or any catalog published after re-entry. However, in fields of rapid change (e.g., certain technical areas), academic administrators may require completion of courses in more recent catalogs so as to ensure currency. Every effort will be made to notify students and count earlier coursework in a way most beneficial to the students to fulfill current requirements.
