Authority: Reviewed and published annually, the Graduate Catalog contains general student life policies; financial information; academic policies that govern the admission, enrollment and graduation of all graduate students; and requirements for earning a graduate degree or certificate. Graduate students and faculty are expected to be familiar and comply with the policies and procedures in the Graduate Catalog.
Catalog Year: Each annual catalog covers one year, including a fall and spring semester and summer term. Students are subject to the policies of the Graduate Catalog in place during their first term of enrollment. However, students may change their governing Graduate Catalog if a more recent Catalog year is to their benefit and if the change is approved by the student’s academic advisor, Graduate Program Director, and the Graduate School Dean’s Office. A change in Graduate Catalog Year must be approved prior to the start of term in which the graduate degree will be awarded. By changing the governing catalog, a student becomes responsible for adhering to all of the policies and fulfilling degree and graduation requirements in the new catalog.
Inquiries about graduate education policies and procedures should be directed to the Graduate School by emailing grads@vt.edu or calling 540-231-8636.
