Catalog Determines Graduation Requirements

A student may be graduated by fulfilling the requirements listed in the catalog which was in effect at the time of his/her original entrance to WLU, provided the degree is conferred within six calendar years from the time of entrance. However, students majoring in teacher education are subject to any changes mandated by state or national requirements. Students who have interrupted attendance in university will generally be required to meet the requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of re-entrance to WLU.

Students may request a change to a later catalog if it is in their best interests to do so. In such cases, students must meet all requirements in the newer catalog, including general education as well as the new requirements in the major/minor. No student may transfer to a catalog in effect prior to his/her initial registration at WLU, nor may a student return to the requirements of a former catalog, having once transferred to a later edition.

The Committee on Admissions and Credits has the right to make final decisions concerning the requirements which must be met. Students should use Toppertracks, the WLU online degree audit system, to track requirements. Toppertracks is available in WINS.
