Departments may accept such coursework, reject it, or request that the student revalidate its substance. The eight-year limit on coursework applies except when program accreditation agencies limit the life of coursework to less than eight years. Departments may also require students to satisfy current major requirements rather than major requirements in earlier catalogs, when completing earlier requirements is no longer possible or educationally sound. The college reserves the right to make necessary course and program changes in order to meet current educational standards. Students not continuously enrolled must satisfy current graduation requirements.
Some specific programs have higher grade requirements.
It is the student's responsibility to be aware of these program requirements. See fee schedule for charges. The Maricopa County Community Colleges offer Certificates of Completion as well as three Associate Degrees, one of which is conferred on each student who has completed a program of study. All candidates for a degree must complete the General Graduation Requirements outlined in this catalog. All students are urged to meet with a faculty advisor, program advisor or counselor as soon as possible to determine which program meets their needs and to plan their course of study.
