CATALOG RIGHTS 6210

POLICY:

Catalog rights is a term used to define the specific set of graduation requirements as established in the catalog for a specific year, which the student must satisfy to qualify for a degree or certificate.

Graduation requirements are determined according to the catalog in effect at the time of first enrollment. If enrollment is in any credit course and is continuous (at least one course is taken each academic year), then graduation requirements are taken from the catalog in effect at the time of first enrollment.

Students enrolled at another accredited public institution of higher education and meeting the SCC definition of continuous enrollment shall not lose their original catalog rights.

When a break in enrollment occurs, graduation requirements are determined according to the catalog in effect at the time of re-entry into continuous enrollment.

Leaves of absence must be requested and approved in advance of the term of which absence is anticipated. Leaves of absence must be approved by the Academic Council and the Chief Student Services Officer.

Students may choose to graduate under the catalog in effect at the time of the petition to graduate.

Each new catalog year begins with the summer session.
