The Catawba Valley Community College 2018-2019 General Catalog (hereby referred to as the “Catalog”) is the official source of the College’s academic programs and courses. The Catalog should be used as a guide, in conjunction with an academic advisor, in planning a program of study and in meeting requirements for graduation.
The requirements specified in this Catalog apply to students who commence their studies at Catawba Valley Community College during the 2018-2019 academic year and who remain in continuous enrollment at the institution until they graduate.
The catalog of record is the catalog that is current at the time a student enrolls at CVCC in his/her program of study. If a student changes his/her program of study, then the catalog of record becomes the catalog that is current at the time of that program change. To graduate under a program of study, a student must meet the requirements of his/her catalog of record or any catalog in effect within the next five years as long as the student has been continuously enrolled. A break in enrollment occurs when a student is not enrolled for two consecutive semesters (i.e. fall and spring or spring and fall). Students are not required to be enrolled during the summer semesters to maintain continuous enrollment. If a student breaks enrollment, the catalog of record will be become the catalog that is current at the time of reentry. From that point of reentry, the rule of continuous enrollment will apply. The Chief Student Services Officer or designee has the authority to choose a catalog within a five-year period of continuous enrollment that best suits the student’s needs for his/her particular program of study at the time of graduation. Exceptions to this policy must be approved by Chief Academic Officer.
See additional Requirements for Graduation.
Although course offerings and academic requirements at Catawba Valley Community College are continually under examination and revision, the Catalog is updated only once per year. This annual revision procedure helps ensure that users of theCatalog will not find unexpected changes during their academic planning processes.
