Degree Requirements

Changes in Degree Requirements

CALMAT policies and requirements change periodically and may not be immediately reflected in campus publications. New degree requirements, however, are not imposed retroactively on continuing students. If degree requirements are changed, students may complete their degree programs under the requirements in effect at the time of their initial enrollment (readmission, if they have discontinued degree status). They have the option of electing to be governed by the new requirements if they so desire, provided that all requirements of one catalog are met.

Students who interrupt their enrollment without prior formal approval lose their status as students. If they want to return they must apply for readmission. For readmitted students the requirements for the degree are those published in the catalog at the time of admission, or any subsequent catalog, provided all the requirements of one catalog are met.
