501.5    CATALOG CHOICE PROCEDURE         

                                                                       

1.         A student may choose to be governed by the degree/certificate requirements outlined in any one CCC Catalog in effect  beginning with the term his/her initial enrollment while maintaining continuous enrollment for credit at the College, or any public Arizona community college or university. The rules for continuous enrollment are:

 

                        A.         A semester in which a student earns credit will be counted towards continuous enrollment.  Non-credit courses, audit courses, failed coursed or withdrawing from all courses does not count towards continuous enrollment.

 

                                                B.         If the student does not maintain continuous enrollment for more than 2 consecutive regular (fall and spring) semesters, the student must meet the requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of re-enrollment or any subsequent catalog during continuous enrollment.  Students enrolling or re-enrolling during a summer term must follow the following fall catalog or any subsequent catalog during continuous enrollment.

           

                                                C.         No student may choose to be governed by the requirements of a catalog issued more than 5 years prior to the year in which catalog choice is made.

 

                                    2.         A student must choose only one catalog and will not be allowed to choose a combination of requirements from differing catalogs.  A student may petition for waiver or substitution of certain catalog requirements.  The academic advisor and/or other College officials may initiate course substitutions for program requirements.  These substitutions must be approved by the Department Chair for the Flagstaff Campus or Campus Dean for the Page Campus, for the specific degree and/or certificate.

 

            3.         Note: Students planning to transfer to an Arizona public university who are completing a transfer degree from a catalog prior to the 1999-2000 catalog may choose to replace the TGECC (Transfer General Education Core Curriculum) with an AGEC (Arizona General Education Curriculum).  Since the TGECC is 41 credits and the AGEC is 35 credits, students replacing the TGECC with the AGEC may be required to complete additional degree core requirements and/or transferable elective credits to complete the degree.
