East Georgia College 2 Catalog Editions Students will normally satisfy the curricular degree requirements of the catalog in effect at the time they enter. It must however be recognized that revisions may be required to provide more effective programs. Changes in academic regulations affect all students. Examples include the scholastic discipline policy, procedures for removing incomplete grades, and appeals procedures. There are several instances, however, when students will be required to ``change catalog editions.'' This means that students will be required to satisfy the curricular degree requirements of the catalog in effect when/if they: change programs of study, re-enter the college after a period of two or more consecutive years in which they have earned no academic credit, or have not graduated by the time their catalog edition is 10 years old. The curricular degree requirements of more than one catalog edition cannot be combined. Students who choose to satisfy requirements of a later catalog must notify the Office of the Registrar. Americans with Disabilities Act In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), East Georgia College will honor requests for reasonable accommodations made by individuals with disabilities. Students must self disclose their disability to the Vice President for Student Affairs before academic accommodations can be implemented.
