Choice of Catalog
Choice of Catalog to Satisfy Graduation Requirements:
A student enrolled at a Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) institution may elect to graduate under the catalog of the year of enrollment in a baccalaureatelevel program or the year of admission to the university and enrollment in the catalog of the year of the declaration of major or the year of graduation.
Whichever catalog is used, it cannot be more than ten years old at the time of graduation.
In the case of NSHE transfer students, any exceptions to this policy will be handled by the Transfer Center and the transfer agreement contract process. To be guaranteed the catalog of choice upon transfer, a student must have an approved transfer agreement on file with the university.
The university does not guarantee the awarding of a degree based on the unchanged requirements of a particular catalog. Periodic revisions of degree requirements are made because of advances in knowledge, changes in occupational qualifications, or the expectations of accrediting authorities. If such revisions have occurred, the college dean may require a reasonable adherence to the college and department requirements of a recent or current catalog. Institutional catalogs do not constitute contractual agreement or commitments.
It is the responsibility of students to keep in touch with the major department in order to learn of such requirements and to plan ahead for their satisfaction.
