Academic Catalog Information

The catalog contains information regarding academic programs, admission requirements and course descriptions for a given academic year. The academic calendar year begins on the first day of instruction of the fall trimester. This is the date when the new catalog becomes effective. Statements in the catalog are for informational purposes and should not be considered as the basis of a contract between students and the University.

The catalog assigned to newly admitted students is determined by the program start term. Admission status is valid for one year from the date of admission. However, for all other policies (except degree requirements), students must adhere to the current catalog for each year they are enrolled.

Students must meet the degree requirements of the catalog under which they are admitted or may petition for a later catalog once they are enrolled. Your academic advisor will guide you in selecting the catalog that most accurately reflects your education goals.

Students admitted to the MA in Marriage and Family Therapy, the MA in Professional Clinical Counseling, the Master of Social Work, and the Ed.D. in Organizational Leadership will be admitted to the Catalog based on the program start date and not the admission date. (See MA in Marriage and Family Therapy, MA in Professional Clinical Counseling and Master of Social Work in the School of Arts and Sciences; Ed.D. in Organizational Leadership in the School of Education section in the catalog.)
