POLICY

Requirements to earn a degree or certificate are based on the catalog which is in force at the time of the student’s initial enrollment. Students have five years to complete their degree program from initial enrollment under the catalog in force at the time of initial enrollment. However, the College reserves the right to change course offerings and academic requirements without notice.

POLICY GUIDELINES

• Students may elect to complete their coursework under the most recent catalog and must comply with all of the new requirements for their program.
• Students who change majors or are admitted to selective programs must meet requirements of the catalog which is in force at the time they make said change.
• Students who transfer to another college or university and return to Zane State College will be readmitted under the catalog which is in force at the time of readmission.
• Students who do not earn any credit hours toward their degree requirements in two calendar years must satisfy requirements of the catalog in force at the time of re-enrollment.
• Dismissed students are readmitted under the catalog which is in force at the time of readmission.

Exceptions to the above may be necessary when changes in certification, accreditation, or licensure standards and changing technology mandate changes in academic requirements or in college programs.

Students who take longer than five years must meet the requirements of the most recent catalog. Questions concerning this policy should be directed to the Registrar’s Office in College Hall or email registrar@zanestate.edu.
