Effective September 2022
Effective September 2022 NSHE amended current policy regarding transferable credit limits and institution types. During the policy implementation period while updating this catalog, students in programs that were affected by this policy change were granted exceptions.
Title 4, Chapter 16, Section 16
University Requirements for Graduation
It is the policy of the Board of Regents to allow students options in selecting the catalog under which to graduate in order to assist students in graduating without excess credits or undue delay. This policy is consistent with Nevada Revised Statutes 396.560.
Periodic revisions of degree requirements are made because of advances in knowledge, changes in occupational or professional qualifications, or the expectations of accrediting authorities. Students should consult the appropriate entities (e.g. advisors, licensing boards, etc.) before selecting the catalog under which to graduate to ensure compliance with any occupational or professional requirements or other post-graduation requirements. Such requirements may necessitate adherence to the degree requirements of a recent or current catalog. Institutional catalogs do not constitute contractual agreements or commitments.
1. A student enrolled at a university may elect to graduate under the catalog of the year of enrollment in a baccalaureate-level program or the year of graduation.
2. A university student who changes his or her major must choose the catalog of the year of the latest change of major or the year of graduation.
3. In addition to the catalog options under Subsections 1 and 2 of this Section, an NSHE transfer student may elect to graduate under the catalog of the year in which the transfer student initially enrolled at the two-year institution.
4. The catalog selected for the purpose of university graduation may not be more than 10 years old at the time of graduation.
5. Exceptions to this policy may be made on a case-by-case basis as determined by the appropriately designated university official.
6. Candidates for a bachelor’s degree at a university must complete at least 30 upper-division credits in residence. Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, an institution cannot limit the number of transfer credits that can apply to degree requirements based solely on the institution type from which the credits originate. An institution may determine the degree applicability of any transfer credits from any other institution on a course-by-course basis and consider curriculum alignment, program accreditation standards, and other academic factors in making those determinations.
