Graduation Requirements

Changes in graduation requirements shall not be made retroactively unless there is clear and compelling reason for doing so. Graduation requirements will be determined as follows:

1. The general university requirements stated in the Bulletin that is current at the time a student matriculates as an undergraduate or graduate student at the University will be the general University requirements which the student must meet for graduation.
2. Requirements imposed by colleges or free-standing schools for graduation will be determined by the Bulletin that is current at the time a student transfers to or enters the college or free-standing school.
3. Requirements for a major, a certificate program, or a minor will be determined by the Bulletin that is current at the time a student declares a major, a minor, or certificate program.
4. The University, a college or school, a department, or a certificate program may permit students who matriculate at the University or who enter a college/school or major under one set of courses or graduation requirements to elect for the requirements that have been instituted since students matriculated at the University or entered a college/school or major, minor, or certificate program.
5. Undergraduate students who have not been enrolled at the University for a period of five years or more may be subjected to different University, college or school, or department requirements than those which existed at the time of matriculation at the University or entry into a given college/school, major, minor, or certificate program.
