Catalog Year
Students are assigned a catalog year based on their date of admission to a graduate program. The catalog will expire after 10 years if the program is not completed. Students will have the option to change to a more recent catalog to complete their requirements for the program or may petition for additional time to complete their program due to extenuating circumstances. An extension may not be possible if significant changes have been made to the program. Students wishing to request an extension should consult their academic advisor and then make a request for an extension in writing (explaining the reason for their request) to the dean of the college in which their program resides. After consulting with appropriate stakeholders such as the graduate coordinator, graduate faculty, and the department chair/associate dean, the college dean makes a final decision and notifies the student.
