College Catalog - Program Requirements
The requirements for graduation at MACC are those specified in the College Catalog at the time a student first enrolls in the College.
Students who wish to meet degree requirements put forth in the catalog at the time of their initial enrollment may do so provided the student enrolls in at least one fall or spring term each academic year (August - May) and the catalog was issued no more than seven years prior to the date the degree is to be conferred. (An exception may be granted to those whose education is interrupted by military service.) If a student fails to successfully complete at least one fall or spring term each academic year, the student must then meet the degree requirements of the catalog in effect when they resume attending classes.
A student may also choose to meet degree requirements as specified in subsequent catalogs published after the student’s initial enrollment. If the student changes programs, they will be expected to meet the graduation requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of the program change. In the case of curriculum changes, instructional deans may adjust the individual degree/certificate plans to meet program requirements.
Every effort will be made to consider earlier course work in a way most beneficial to the student in fulfilling current requirements.
Students are subject to all policies/regulations stated in the most recent catalog.
