Your College Catalog is based on the academic year you began at Mid and contains your official academic degree requirements. It is also referred to as your College Catalog of Record. Use the College Catalog to find academic information, student support services, official policies, and more.
Graduation requirements for all types of credentials are based on requirements found in the College Catalog. You have seven years to complete those requirements with continuous attendance. Continuous attendance is defined as attending at least one semester per academic year.
Requirements from different College Catalogs cannot be mixed. If it takes longer than seven years to complete a credential or if you are not enrolled continuously, the requirements found in the current College Catalog must be met. The College does maintain the right to shorten the seven-year period for some credentials under certain circumstances.
