Catalog Requirements

A student maintaining continuous enrollment in any public community college or public university in Arizona may graduate from Cochise College by meeting the requirements in the college catalog in effect at the time of that student's initial enrollment, or by meeting the requirements in any single Cochise College catalog in effect during any subsequent academic year (fall, spring, summer) of that student's continuous enrollment. Although a student's initial catalog assignment is the academic catalog in effect at the time of initial enrollment, a student's catalog year can change as a result of the following:

  • A student who fails to maintain continuous enrollment or changes program of study shall be assigned the current year catalog.
  • A student who requests a different catalog year shall be limited to subsequent academic year catalogs.
  • A student whose academic catalog has expired, as described below, shall be assigned the next academic year catalog.
  • Continuous enrollment is defined as being enrolled during consecutive academic years in which course credit is earned. Noncredit and audited courses do not count toward continuous enrollment. For the purpose of determining a student's catalog requirements, continuous enrollment is limited to the five (5) academic years prior to the student's current year of enrollment. The five-year continuous enrollment limit moves forward with the student into year six and beyond. Re-enrollment is required of any student who has been absent from Cochise College for two (2) or more semesters, as stated in Administrative Policy 4001 Admissions.
