Hello All,
We just wanted to make sure everyone was aware of some approved changes to catalog
eligibility & expiration policies. These updates have already been made to the
2024-2026 undergraduate
catalog<https://catalog.utsa.edu/undergraduate/bachelorsdegreeregulati...;.
The attached memo provides details on the following changes:
1. A student only qualifies for catalogs newer than their original/earliest eligible
catalog.
2. The new policy of not needing to complete a course during one of a catalog's
active terms is retroactive to all active catalogs.
3. Transfer students can determine their original/earliest catalog eligibility based on
their first term of enrollment at any public, Texas institution (not including dual credit
enrollment).
4. A student's 6-year expiration timeframe begins at the end of their specific
catalog term.
5. All students will have a 6-year catalog expiration timeframe based on their specific
catalog term. Any references stating that some students only have a 4-year expiration
timeframe have been updated/removed.
6. If a student was not admitted under, or enrolled for, one of their chosen
catalog's active terms, they should default to using the earliest catalog term for
that catalog.
There are also ongoing conversations about how to address issues with students with
expired catalogs if they have not received an approved extension. Updates regarding any
new policies or processes for these students will be sent once finalized.
