POLICY STATEMENT: This catalog contains the major points of the current agreement between the students and the Institution. Within this agreement, the institution reserves the right to make changes in course offerings, curricula, and other policies affecting its programs.

In that process, some of the programs and courses mentioned in this catalogue may be modified, consolidated with other programs and courses, or eliminated. When the curriculum of any one program is revised, the institution will automatically initiate the transfer process of every student enrolled in said program to the revised curriculum but without increasing the number of credits required for the students to finish the program.
