Applicable Catalog
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 any subsequent1 catalog in effect during their enrollment as an active student. If approved, the student’s new applicable catalog will determine all graduation requirements, including major, supporting, and core requirements. Petitions require the approval of the student’s program director and academic advisor. Upon approval, the student may not revoke this decision.
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.
