Applicable Catalog Policy – Graduate Students

Students graduate according to requirements published in the University’s Graduate Catalog at the time of their matriculation at St. Catherine University. Students who are away from the University for more than one semester are subject to the academic requirements in effect at the time of re-entry. Students who are in programs that lead to licensure are responsible for meeting current licensure standards. Students who change programs are subject to the academic requirements in effect at the time of entry into the new graduate program.

Matriculated students may petition to satisfy the degree requirements of any¹ catalog in effect during their enrollment as an active student. Petitions require the approval of the student’s program director. Changes in policies or procedures which are only marginally related to degree requirements (such as grading or registration) apply to all enrolled students. Exceptions can only be granted by decision of the appropriate academic officer.

¹Students may not petition to satisfy the degree requirements of catalog prior to their enrollment.
