Catalog in Effect
A student graduates by satisfying the degree
requirements in the catalog in effect at the time of
the first completed semester of courses. The
following exceptions apply:
1. A catalog more than seven years old shall not be
used.
2. The College must currently offer the student’s
major that was included in the original catalog.
3. The program of a student who interrupts
enrollment for reasons other than involuntary
military service for more than one calendar year
is governed by the catalog in effect at the time
of the student’s readmission to the College.
A student who interrupts enrollment for involuntary
military service must re-enroll within one year from
military service separation date to continue under
the provisions of the original bulletin. For these
purposes, enrollment is defined as “registration for
and successful completion of at least one course
during an academic term.”
A student forced to withdraw for adequate cause
before completing a course may petition for a waiver
of this provision at withdrawal time. However, even
in an instance of involuntary military service, a
bulletin more than seven years old shall not be used.
The program of a student who first declares a major
and then changes the major from one department to
another shall be governed by the degree
requirements in effect at the time the change of
major becomes effective.
Second Associate Degree
When another associate degree is taken
simultaneously, or previously was taken, the second
associate degree may be granted upon completion of
all required work for the second degree. A total of 15
semester credit hours above the number required for
the degree having the greater semester credit hours
requirement must be completed.
