Requirement (and Matriculation) Term

Policy statement

For an undergraduate student pursuing a degree in the College of Arts and Sciences at Bloomington the applicable degree requirements are those in effect at the time he or she first enrolls (matriculates) at the Bloomington campus of Indiana University as a degree-seeking student.

A student who fails to complete a degree within eight years of matriculation will forfeit the automatic right to use the requirements in effect at the time of matriculation. Students in this situation with questions about remaining requirements should contact the Student Records and Services division of the Office of Undergraduate Curriculum, Policy, and Records.

Students may elect to move to the degree requirement term in effect at the time such a request is officially made through the Student Records and Services division of the Office of Undergraduate Curriculum, Policy, and Records. A change in requirement term will apply to all academic objectives (degree major minor) being pursued. Once requested this change cannot be reversed. 

Note: Students with Indiana University credit earned as high school participants in the Advance College Project or the OPEN (On-campus Precollege Enrollment—Nondegree) Program will follow the degree requirements in place as of their first full-semester enrollment as degree-seeking students on the Bloomington campus.
