CHOICE OF CATALOG
The catalog year for an undergraduate student's program (general studies and major curriculum) will be the catalog year in effect at the time of initial enrollment as a degree-seeking student. Those students who do not change their major and who maintain continuous enrollment in the University have the option of following the catalog in effect at the time of initial enrollment as degree-seeking students or the catalog in effect at the time of graduation.

Students holding the A.A. degree or certification of the completion of general studies requirements from a Florida public junior/community college or University may elect to complete the degree requirements of UWF which were in effect at the time the student first entered the Florida public junior/community college university as a degree-seeking student. Students electing this option must be enrolled at UWF as a degree-seeking student within three years of the date of initial enrollment in the junior/community college or university. The transcript of the student granted this option must demonstrate that a four-year plan was made by the inclusion of the appropriate lower-division courses. Students should contact their major department for additional information regarding requirements for their degree program. 

A combination of catalogs may not be used to fulfill major degree requirements. 

Change of Major
Undergraduate students who change their majors after initial enrollment as degree-seeking students have the option of following the major degree program outlined in the catalog in effect at the time of the change of major or the catalog in effect at the time of graduation. 

Readmission
Students who do not maintain continuous enrollment and who are readmitted to the University after non-enrollment of three consecutive semesters have the option of following the degree program outlined in the catalog in effect at the time of re-enrollment as degree-seeking students or the catalog in effect at the time of graduation. Doctoral students must consult the College of Professional Studies Graduate Office for readmission information. 

Choice of Catalog - General Studies
All students (except for students holding an A.A. degree or certification of the completion of general studies requirements from a Florida public junior/community college or university) entering UWF must complete the requirements specified under General Studies. Contact the Office of the Registrar for detailed information.
