Choice of Catalog (Catalog Year) and Continuous Enrollment

A student must graduate under the provisions of any UCF Undergraduate Catalog in effect since the student began continuous enrollment at UCF. New Catalog policies and requirements take effect with the Summer term. A student transferring from Florida public community colleges or state universities may use the UCF Undergraduate Catalog in effect at the time he or she began the most recent period of continuous enrollment in academic good standing at any of the Florida public institutions.

Continuous enrollment is defined as being enrolled in classes without a break of two or more consecutive regular semesters/terms (i.e., Fall and Spring, or Spring, Summer, and Fall). Continuous enrollment is automatically broken when a student moves from one transfer institution to another following academic disqualification or exclusion.

Students who change majors between different colleges (including the Rosen College of Hospitality Management) must adopt the most current catalog. Additional information is included in the program descriptions. Students pursuing a single degree (including double majors and/or minors) must use a single catalog and cannot use a combination of catalogs for graduation. In cases when required courses are no longer taught by the University, the appropriate department, college, or Academic Services (MH 210) may designate a reasonable substitute. If a student desires to change the catalog for graduation, the student should first discuss with the advisors how such a change would affect University, college, and major requirements. If a student decides to request a change, he or she must submit a Catalog Year Change Request Form to the Registrar’s Office (MH 161). This form is available at the Registrar’s Office or online at http://www.registrar.sdes.ucf.edu.
