Catalog Rights

A student’s degree or certificate requirements are determined by the academic catalog in effect during the first session in which they remain enrolled after the ‘add/drop’ period. Catalog rights will remain in effect as long as the student maintains continuous enrollment in their degree program. Students readmitted after an unapproved absence exceeding one year or students readmitted after withdrawal from Trident are subject to review of catalog rights as outlined in the policy on Readmission.

A student may elect to adopt the requirements of the current academic catalog. Students who wish to update their academic catalog rights should consult with their Student Success Advisor. The most current catalog refers to the academic catalog in place at the time of the request to update catalog rights. Students declaring or changing degree programs will be subject to the requirements in effect at the time of the declaration or change.

Catalog Rights for Students in a Degree Program

Any student who returns to a degree program following a break in enrollment of five years or fewer will be eligible for the same degree requirements that were in effect prior to their absence. If a program or concentration has been retired during the student’s absence, the student will be required to select a new program or concentration and will be subject to the academic catalog requirements in effect during the first session in which they remain re-enrolled after the ‘add/drop’ period. Any student who returns to a degree program following a break in enrollment of greater than five years will be subject to the academic catalog in effect at the time of readmission.

Catalog rights of students cannot supersede any accreditation standards, state or federal regulation, or benefit requirements of programs including (but not limited to) military Tuition Assistance (TA), federal student Financial Aid (FA), and Veterans Administration (VA). Catalog rights refers to the academic requirements of a program. Students are all subject to the most current university policies unless the policy update explicitly specifies otherwise.
