Choosing Your Program of Study
While advice and couselling are readily available, it is the responsibility of the student to ensure that enrollment in courses is appropriate to and necessary for program requirements. Should program requirements change, the College will offer the courses, or acceptable substitutes, so the student will have 10 years to complete any program of that catalogue in effect upon initial enrollment. During the student's academic career, not more than one offical catalogue change may be granted.
