The Program Version catalog year for a degree or certificate refers to the specific academic year in which a student first enrolls in a degree program. It determines the set of academic requirements—such as general education, major, and graduation requirements—that the student must fulfill to earn their degree. The catalog year is important because university curricula and policies can change from year to year.

A student’s certificates, associate’s, or bachelor’s degrees can be on different catalog years. Students need to verify the correct catalog year to ensure they are viewing the correct requirements for their certificate or degree.

Steps to View Your Catalog Year:

• Log into the Student Portal.

• Navigate to the 'Academics' tab in the left menu.

• Click on 'Degree Progress Audit.'

• In the 'View by Enrollment' dropdown, choose which enrollment to view (Certificate = Your Certificate's name) (Bachelor's Degree = Your Degree Name Here).

• Under 'Program Details,' view the catalog year you are looking for.

Catalogs expire after six (6) years.
