To receive a bachelor's degree, a student must fulfill all the degree requirements in a catalog under which he or she is eligible to graduate; the choices open to students in each college and school are explained below. The student must complete degree requirements within a specified time period; if he or she leaves school to enter military service during a national emergency, the time required to meet the military obligation is excluded from the time allowed for completion of the degree.
A student who transfers to the University from another Texas public institution of higher education has the same catalog choices that he or she would have had if the dates of attendance at the University had been the same as the dates of attendance at the other institution.
Since each college and school must retain the flexibility to improve its curriculum, course offerings may be changed during the student's education. If a course required under the previous catalog is no longer offered, students eligible to graduate according to that catalog should consult the dean of the college to learn whether another course may be used to fulfill the requirement.
