Enrolled in an earlier year?
Your catalog year matters.

Find your catalog year
Which catalog applies to you?
The catalog in effect when you enroll sets your graduation requirements. Here’s how that works.
You enrolled and stayed
You follow the requirements in the catalog in effect when you enrolled—even if your program has changed since.
You changed your major
If you change majors or choose to follow a later catalog, you must meet all the requirements of that newer catalog.
You returned after time away
If you come back after an absence of a year or more, you follow the current catalog.
