provide a general description of Glenville State College and its academic programs and support services and to present detailed information regarding admission and degree requirements. Inasmuch as the educational process necessitates change, the information and educational requirements in this catalog represent a flexible program, which may be altered where such alterations are considered to be in the mutual interests of the College and its students. The provisions of the catalog do not constitute any offer of a contract, which may be accepted by students through registration and enrollment in the College. Glenville State College reserves the right to change without notice any fee, provision, policy, offering or requirement in this catalog and to determine whether a student has satisfactorily met its requirements for admission or graduation. STUDENT RESPONSIBILITY The College establishes certain academic requirements that must be met before a degree is granted. Faculty advisors and department chairs are available to help the student understand and meet those requirements; however, the student is responsible for fulfilling them. If, at the end of a student’s course of study, the requirements for graduation have not been satisfied, the degree will not be granted. For this reason, it is important for students to acquaint themselves with all academic requirements and to be responsible for completing all requirements within prescribed deadlines and time limits. STATEMENT OF CATALOG POLICY Students who enroll at Glenville State College will follow the provisions of the catalog in use at the time of their admission. Students beginning school during summer sessions will follow the provisions of the coming fall catalog. In the case of programmatic changes, students may choose to adopt the current catalog. If the student chooses to adopt the current catalog, he/she becomes responsible for all of the requirements in that catalog. Once a new catalog has been adopted, the student may not switch back to the older catalog. Transfer students will use the catalog current at the time of their admission to Glenville State College. Any student who has interrupted his/her schooling at Glenville State College for two consecutive semesters (Fall/Spring or Spring/Fall) will become subject to the provisions of the catalog in place at the time of their readmission.
