GRADUATION UNDER A PARTICULAR CATALOG

Graduation Under a Particular Catalog

To receive a degree from Tarleton State University, a student must complete all requirements for a degree as set forth in a particular University catalog. Several choices are allowed:
  1. Graduation may be under the requirements of the catalog in force at the time the student first enrolls at Tarleton State University.
  2. Graduation may be under the catalog in force at the time the student first enrolled in higher education if the student is a transfer to Tarleton State University. A student who pre-registers for the first time in the spring for the following fall may choose to be under the catalog in force that spring.
  3. Graduation may be under the catalog in force for any subsequent year that the student is registered at Tarleton State University.

These possibilities are subject to the condition that all degree requirements must be completed within six (6) years of the date of the catalog selected. For example, a student who chooses to graduate under the requirements of the 2000-01 catalog must complete all requirements for the degree under that catalog prior to August 2006 graduation. (In the event students serve on active duty with the Armed Forces of the United States between the dates of their matriculation and graduation, the six-year limit will be extended one year for each year of active duty served, up to a maximum of four years.) A student registering for the first time in the summer session may meet the requirements of the catalog applying to either the previous or the next long session.
