Graduation Guidelines & Procedures

In order to graduate, a student must fulfill catalog requirements in effect at matriculation or any subsequent catalog during the enrollment. A catalog over six years old may be used to determine requirements for a degree only if the student has been enrolled continuously in fall and spring semesters.


Students who change majors must meet the specific requirements for the new major as stated in the catalog in effect at the time of the change of major. Core curriculum requirements are not affected by a change of major.
