Southern Illinois University Carbondale 2011–2012 Counselors’ Advisement Catalog This publication provides information about Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Primary attention is given to suggested curricula for undergraduate degree programs. Students starting their collegiate training (first graded course from an accredited institution) during the period of time covered by the 2011–2012 Undergraduate Catalog (summer 2011 through spring 2012) are subject to the curricu- lar requirements specified in the 2011–2012 Undergraduate Catalog. The requirements will extend for a seven- calendar-year period from the date of entry for baccalaureate programs and a three-calendar-year period for associate programs. Students, who have not met their undergraduate educational objectives during these periods, will become subject to current curricular requirements. Should the requirements contained in the SIUC 2011–2012 Undergraduate Catalog subsequently be changed by SIUC, students are assured that necessary adjustments will be made so that no additional time is required of them. Where programs include requirements established by agencies external to SIUC, every effort will be made to follow the same principal as far as possible. Should subsequent curricular requirement changes work to students’ advantage, they may elect to meet the new requirements rather than those contained in the undergraduate catalog. Should SIUC find it necessary to discontinue an academic program, the effective date, unless otherwise dictated, will be such that the last regularly admitted class will be able to complete the program in regular-time sequence: four years for baccalaureate and two years for associate programs. A student who has withdrawn from SIUC may not be readmit- ted to a discontinued program. SIUC reserves the right to make changes, as it deems necessary, in curricular requirements, academic poli- cies, and other rules and regulations affecting students, to be effective whenever determined by SIUC, with- out regard to students’ dates of admission or start of collegiate training.
