Catalog of Graduation

Undergraduate students have six years from their semester of original registration to complete a degree program under the catalog in effect when they initially registered. A student may choose a subsequent catalog under which to complete graduation requirements, provided the student completed all degree requirements under the subsequent catalog.

Choosing a new catalog begins a new four-year time limit. Students who graduate under one catalog and begin a second degree must begin the new degree under the catalog in effect at that time, with a four-year time limit to complete the second degree under that catalog. A student must have an approved catalog at the time an application for graduation is filed. All continuing students requesting a catalog change must do so through their assigned advisor.

Any current or former UTSA undergraduate student may graduate under the current catalog even if they have not completed a course during a semester in which the catalog was in effect. A student requesting to graduate under the current catalog must meet all requirements (including those of the Core Curriculum) as outlined in that catalog.

Students admitted to certain colleges or degree programs may be required to update to the catalog in effect at the time of admission. Students can confirm whether admission to a certain program will require a change of catalog by consulting their assigned advisor.
