When program elimination occurs or program requirements significantly change, students are informed as soon as possible. In the case of program elimination, the University commits to “teach-out” the courses for the program within a reasonable time frame, or make appropriate course substitutions to ensure students fulfill all the requirements of the program. Advisors work closely with the students to develop a plan that enables students to complete program requirements in a timely manner. Students enrolled in a program that has been eliminated or modified may graduate with the degree requirements in a previous catalog within a seven-year time period.
