Introductory Statement


All colleges, schools, divisions, and departments establish certain academic requirements that must be met before a degree is granted. Advisors, directors, department chairs, and deans are available to help the student understand these requirements, but the student is responsible for fulfilling them. At the end of a student’s course of study, if requirements for graduation have not been satisfied, the degree is not granted. For this reason, it is important for all students to acquaint themselves with all regulations, to be informed throughout their college careers, and to be responsible for completing requirements. Courses, programs, and requirements described in the catalog may be suspended, deleted, restricted, supplemented, or changed in any other manner at any time at the sole discretion of the university and the Arizona Board of Regents. The catalog does not establish a contractual relationship but summarizes the total requirements the student must currently meet before qualifying for a faculty recommendation to the Arizona Board of Regents to award a degree.

Arizona State University reserves the right to change without notice any of the materials—information, requirements, regulations—published in this catalog.

Arizona Board of Regents’ policy states that no employee, agent or institution under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Board of Regents shall discriminate against any student, employee, or other individual because of such individual’s religious belief or practice or any absence thereof. Administrators and faculty members are expected to reasonably accommodate individual religious practices. A refusal to accommodate is justified only when undue hardship would result from each available alternative or reasonable accommodation. No administrator or faculty member shall retaliate or otherwise discriminate against any student, employee, or prospective employee because that individual has sought a religious accommodation pursuant to this policy.

Arizona State University complies with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 as amended (see “Student Records.”)
