A revised program of study must also be submitted via the SIS when any change in the original plan occurs. For graduate engineering students, additional details regarding degree program requirements are given in the engineering section of the Bulletin.
The various departments and schools may make such additional regulations concerning programs of study as may be necessary to reach particular academic goals. These regulations must be in writing, with a copy filed in the School of Graduate Studies.
