Associate Program Students

Students graduate according to requirements published in the University’s Undergraduate Catalog at the time of their matriculation in an associate degree program at St. Catherine University. Students who are away from the University for more than one year are subject to whatever academic requirements are in effect at the time of re-entry. Students who change programs are subject to whatever academic requirements are in effect at the time of entry into the new associate degree program.

Matriculated students may petition to satisfy the degree requirements of any1 catalog in effect during their enrollment as an active student. If approved, the student’s new applicable catalog will determine all graduation requirements, including program, supporting, and core requirements.
