For example, students who enter the university in fall 2009 and are continuously enrolled through graduation must meet the baccalaureate degree requirements as stated in this 2009-2010 catalog.

Program Requirements

Either the university or a program may find it necessary to update requirements for students who have been enrolled in the university or in a program for an extended period.
