GRADUATION UNDER A SPECIFIC BULLETIN<\/h4>\n

University policy allows a student seven years to graduate under the Catalog<\/em> in effect at the time of initial enrollment at Nicholls, even though the student has made a change in curriculum or has had a break in college attendance. Time limitations for graduate degrees appear in the section of the Catalog<\/em> devoted to GRADUATE STUDIES.<\/p>\n

Within the seven year period, students may change to another Catalog<\/em> in the office of their departments. Students unable to complete a degree program within seven years after entering the university are expected to follow the Catalog<\/em> in effect during their eighth year of attendance (or the Catalog<\/em> in effect the year of graduation).<\/p>\n

Students who are pursuing more than one degree simultaneously or who wish to earn an additional degree (see Second Undergraduate Degree) after completing the first may follow the same Catalog<\/em> if no more than seven years have elapsed and there has not been a break from the university of more than one semester.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

CHANGE OF CURRICULUM<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Change of curriculum becomes official on the date of submission to the Office of Records and Registration. Students should be advised by faculty in the newly chosen curriculum for the next semester. Records, however, will be formally transferred at the beginning of the following semester.<\/p>\n

When programs must meet curricular requirements set by external agencies, such as accrediting associations, curricular changes may be made without prior notice, and students may be required to conform to such changes when they become effective.<\/p>\n
