Catalog Rights

A student may choose to apply for a degree or certificate under either the completion requirements in effect at the time of application for graduation or the graduation requirements in effect at the time of initial enrollment at the college, provided continuous enrollment is maintained.

Continuous enrollment is the earning of college credit in at least one semester or summer intersession during an academic year without interruption of progress. To retain catalog rights for graduation under the year of initial enrollment, a student is required to maintain continuous enrollment through the completion of the requirements for graduation. An academic year begins with the summer intersession and includes the following fall and spring semesters.

An emergency leave of absence for a term may be granted in those instances where it is warranted. Leaves of absence must be requested and approved in advance of the term for which absence is anticipated. Leaves of absence must be approved by the Vice President of Student Services.

The College reserves the right to change program requirements based upon legal mandate and/or accreditation standards at any time.
