General Disclaimer
The Spring Arbor University catalog contains information about the University and policies relating to the academic requirements and records of each student. Current and future students should refer to individual program handbooks for additional information. The University’s policies and procedures may not be varied by any University employee without official governance approval either in writing or by an oral statement.
Curricula and policies listed in this catalog are subject to change through normal University governance procedures. Revisions to the catalog are normally implemented in the next academic year following adoption by the Graduate Council and Academic Senate. However, occasionally curricula or policies may be changed and implemented in the same academic year and for matriculated students. Therefore, although the catalog establishes requirements that the student must fulfill to graduate, it is not a contract between the University and student nor anyone else.
To complete a degree, a student is expected to meet the requirements listed in the catalog that is in effect for the year of the student’s matriculation to the University. Students may also need to meet additional degree requirements that have been published in other official University documents, such as departmental handbooks. Additionally, the University reserves the right to withdraw curricula and specific courses, alter course content, change the academic calendar, and/or impose or increase fees as it deems necessary without prior notification, although reasonable efforts will be made to communicate changes in a timely manner. All changes are effective at such times as the University determines and may apply to future students and those already enrolled in the University.
Policy Discrepancy Disclaimer
The Graduate Catalog takes precedence over any policy discrepancies between the catalog and any other Spring Arbor University publications.
