Policy

The Academic Catalog is the official document of the University concerning academic programs, policies and procedures. It serves as the official statement of academic policies under which the University operates internally as well as a historical document that provides information regarding academic offerings, policies, grading standards, graduation requirements, etc.

The Academic Catalog outlines the terms of the academic relationship between the student and the University, which the University reserves the right to change as it deems necessary or desirable.

Further, the Academic Catalog serves as a published reference of official information for the benefit of other academic institutions, for State and Federal agencies, and for prospective and enrolled students.
