Updated Programs
Students who are applying for the Fall 2025 term and later must follow the requirements for the updated programs. See the Program Requirements section at Programs, Classes & Degrees Explained for more details on these rules. If a student started a program under a former version and has not sat out for more than one year, they will following the requirements for the original program version and catalog year when they started. Any current, continuing student in an inactive program may elect to change to the more recent program version but it not required to do so. See an Academic Advisor if you have any further questions.
