Graduation Under a Particular Catalog

|
Policies > Degree Requirements > Graduation Under a Particular Catalog |
Students normally are entitled to graduate under the degree provisions of the catalog in effect at the time of their first completed semester of enrollment. These exceptions apply:
- A catalog more than seven years old shall not be used.
- The programs of students who interrupt their enrollment at the University of Houston for more than 13 months shall be governed by the catalog in effect at the time of the students’ reentrance to the university. For these purposes, enrollment is defined as enrollment (registration) for and successful completion of at least one three-semester-hour course during a semester or summer session. Students forced to withdraw for adequate cause before completion of a course may petition the dean of the college of their major for a waiver of this provision at the time of withdrawal.
- Students who change their majors at this university, provided they do not interrupt their enrollment at the University of Houston for more than 13 months, are entitled to graduate under the general degree requirements in effect at the time they enrolled at the university, but must satisfy the college and major degree requirements in effect at the time the change of major becomes effective.
- Students who add a second major at this university, provided they do not interrupt their enrollment at the University of Houston for more than 13 months, are entitled to graduate under the general degree requirements in effect at the time they enrolled at the university, the college and primary major degree requirements in effect at the time their primary major became effective, and the major degree requirements of the second major (and, if the second major is in a different college from the primary major, the degree requirements of that college) in effect at the time their second major became effective.
- Students will be required to comply with all changes in the curriculum made subsequent to the years enrolled. Careful consideration will be given to all deletions and additions of courses, and will be of approximately equal credit so that no student will have an overall appreciable increase of total credits required for graduation, unless otherwise approved by the Dean of the college.
- A student who transfers from another Texas public institution of higher education may choose a catalog for the purpose of specifying graduation requirements, based upon the dates of attendance at the receiving institution and at the transferring institution, in the same manner that a non-transfer student may choose a catalog.
