Catalog Year
A student’s catalog year determines graduation requirements in each program as outlined in this College Catalog. The catalog year refers to the academic year a student was first admitted to New River CTC or when a student changed to their current major. For example, if a student was admitted to the College or changed their major in Fall 2025, their catalog year would be 2025-2026 and they would need to fulfill the program requirements listed in the 2025-2026 catalog.
When changing majors, students will generally be automatically updated to the most current catalog year. Students may also stay in their current major but request the most recent catalog year for graduation requirements. Once a program/major or catalog year has been changed, students will not be allowed to revert to an older version of the College Catalog.
Continuing Enrollment Requirements
If a student interrupts enrollment for more than one year or fails to meet the graduation requirements within a four-year period for an associate degree or a two-year period for a certificate, they may be subject to the provisions of the most current catalog in effect when they return. Students completing fewer than 12 credit hours in an academic year, computed from one fall registration to the next, will be subject to the provisions of the latest catalog. Permission to remain under the original catalog may be obtained from the Vice President for Academic Affairs only in exceptional circumstances. This policy does not imply that the College will necessarily continue to offer the courses needed to complete the program.
