The student's catalog year defines the program¹ requirements to obtain a degree from LAPU. Students must follow the policies and procedures in the catalog year they are assigned. The following regulations govern initial catalog year assignment and subsequent changes:

• Students are assigned to the catalog that is current at the time of their initial enrollment at LAPU.
• Students are reassigned to the catalog that is current at the time of any subsequent readmission to LAPU.
• Students may also request to be voluntarily reassigned to the current catalog year by submitting a General Petition. Students are encouraged to confer with their success coach in order to understand the full implications of a voluntary catalog year reassignment before submitting a General Petition.
• Students who change their major are reassigned to the catalog that is current at the time they begin their new major.
• Changes to catalog year assignments due to readmission, voluntary reassignment, or change of major are not reversible.
