In determining degree and certificate requirements, students are governed by the catalog in effect for the semester of acceptance to MSU Denver. Students may elect to follow any later qualifying catalog edition that is put into effect while they are continuously enrolled at MSU Denver. A qualifying catalog must contain the student’s complete program of study, including, but not limited to, major, minor, concentration, and other graduation requirements. If the student’s complete program of study is no longer offered, the student cannot elect to follow that catalog. All degree and certificate requirements must adhere to current policies at MSU Denver. Students who do not enroll in classes for three or more consecutive semesters (Fall, Spring, and Summer, in any order) must be readmitted to the university and are governed by the catalog in effect upon their re-acceptance. Students who are readmitted to the university may at any point elect to follow degree requirements under an earlier MSU Denver catalog, subject to the following conditions:
- The student must select a degree catalog that does not predate the current catalog by more than 10 academic years at the time of request.
- To complete a degree program under an earlier, qualifying catalog, the student must obtain authorization from the academic department offering the degree program.
- To complete a degree or certificate program under an earlier, qualifying catalog, the student must obtain authorization per the degree exception process.
- In order for the selected qualifying catalog edition to remain in effect, the student must maintain continuous enrollment at the university.
Students transferring to MSU Denver from a regionally accredited, Colorado community college may complete degree requirements under an MSU Denver catalog in effect while they were enrolled at the community college, subject to the following conditions:
- The student must select a degree catalog that does not predate the current catalog by more than three academic years.
- To complete a degree program under an earlier, qualifying catalog, the student must obtain authorization from the academic department offering the degree program.
- In order for the selected catalog edition to remain in effect, the student must maintain continuous enrollment at the community college and subsequent continuous enrollment at the university until the student completes the degree program at MSU Denver.
