Eastern Florida State College

Governing Catalog

Catalog Year and Continuous Enrollment (Governing Catalog)

The Eastern Florida State College catalog is the official document that outlines the policies, academic programs and graduation requirements for degree-seeking students. Understanding and following the policies and requirements are the student's responsibility.

  • The governing catalog term is the same as the catalog in effect at the time of admission to the college, readmission to the college, or upon any degree or major change. 
    • To remain in a specific catalog term, student must maintain continuous enrollment. Student will follow the policies and graduation requirements in the governing catalog except when changed by law or by the Board of Trustees, in accordance with the following guidelines. 
    • Continuous enrollment is the completion of at least one course within three consecutive terms. Completion of a course means student earned a grade in the course, including a letter grade, I or W. Spring, summer, and fall are each considered a term. Continuing Education courses do not count toward continuous enrollment.
  • The governing catalog is valid for five academic years.  After this time, the governing catalog will be the one in effect in the next term of enrollment.
  • A student may officially declare any subsequent catalog as their governing catalog and follow the new program requirements provided:
    • They have maintained continuous enrollment, and the subsequent catalog is not more than 5 years old. 
    • To request a catalog year update, a student must complete a Major/Program Change Form by the published deadline date.  Check if a catalog year change affects financial aid.
  • Limited access programs governing catalog will be the catalog in effect when students are accepted into the program and maintain continuous enrollment.
  • After three consecutive terms of non-attendance, student will be inactivated. The catalog term will be updated to the term of readmission.
  • Students who return to EFSC after enrolling at another college or university (except for EFSC degree-seeking students approved transients) must follow the catalog graduation requirements in effect at readmission.
