ACADEMIC YEAR REQUIREMENTS
Students are responsible for meeting all degree requirements in effect at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater at the time of the declaration of their current major unless they interrupt their attendance at Whitewater by an absence of four or more consecutive academic terms (including Summer School), in which case upon re-entry they will be subject to the requirements in effect at that time.
Therefore, as students enter the University, an academic year is assigned to their record. They will be held to that set of degree requirements for graduation unless they change majors. Although the University Catalog is published every two years, academic year requirements will be monitored on a year-by-year basis. Students entering the University for the first time in a Summer Session will be held to the following fall terms requirements. New students registering for fall term will be held to the curricular changes approved the preceding academic year. If a department or college curricular change is made retroactive (due to unusual circumstances), the responsibility is then assumed by the unit making the change to notify all students affected by that change in a timely manner. Students have the option of requesting a more current set of academic requirements at any time by reporting to their advising location. However, it is not possible to satisfy an earlier set of requirements without permission from the dean of the college of the major. The academic year on students' records will be updated automatically as part of the change of major process. All subsequent ARs will reflect the later set of requirements, if the requirements have changed since initial entry into the University.
