Official Catalog of Record for Students
The published academic catalog at the time of a student’s matriculation serves as the official catalog of record for a student. Faculty and advisors should refer to the student's applicable academic year catalog when reviewing degree progress, program requirements or academic policies.
The degree audit system is configured directly from what is published in the academic catalog, and catalog content also feeds to program webpages on the main university website. This helps ensure students have consistent and accurate information across platforms.
