Catalog-Year-Determination
A Catalog Year is the academic year (usually Fall to Summer) when a student first enrolls full-time as a degree-seeking student at the College. The Catalog Year dictates which specific degree requirements a student needs to complete their degree.
A student is normally expected to satisfy the graduation requirements published in the Catalog in the academic year of their initial matriculation, provided there are no breaks in continuous enrollment.
During their time as degree-seeking students at Maryville College, students may elect to adopt a more recent Catalog, subject to the following restrictions:
1. Students must use a single Catalog for all graduation requirements. Mixing Catalogs is not allowed.
2. Students may not choose a Catalog Year prior to their matriculation.
3. Students must notify the Registrar's Office before the start of the semester if they want to change their Catalog Year. Procedures for changing the Catalog Year can be found on the Registrar's website.
4. Students who add or change a major(s), minor(s), or certificate(s) will retain the original Catalog Year unless they notify the Registrar's Office that they plan to change to a newer Catalog Year.
5. When the College updates graduation requirements, students may choose to adopt a newer Catalog Year, but are not required to do so if the changes would delay graduation. Academic departments will ensure that a reasonable path to graduation remains available under the student's original Catalog Year.
6. If students change their Catalog Year, they may not move back to an older Catalog Year.
A student's Catalog Year remains active as long as there is no interruption in Enrollment. Otherwise, a Catalog is active for 6 years.
Students seeking readmission to the College should consult the Catalog Year language on the Readmission page.
