Judson College, however, reserves the right to make modifications at any time without notice. Financial charges, course offerings, and admission requirements, among other things, may well change during the two years covered by this catalog. All changes to the catalog will be maintained in the Office of the Registrar and may be viewed upon request. Changes will also be posted within a reasonable period of time on Judson College’s website (www.judson.edu). The responsibility for meeting the requirements for a degree rests with the individual student. A degree cannot be awarded until all requirements are completed. It is important, therefore, for the students to acquaint themselves with all college requirements and to make progress toward meeting them. Students are subject to the degree requirements of the catalog in effect at the time they matriculate, provided that they complete degree requirements within five years of matriculation and do not withdraw for more than one semester. A student who drops out of college for more than one term shall be subject to the requirements in the catalog at the time of her return. Requirements for teacher certification, however, are specified by the State of Alabama and are subject to change without notice.
