Should I Change Catalogs?

• A students degree requirements are determined by
  the catalog they are
• declared in when they become a student at NAU.
  Students may change to a
• newer catalog to take advantage of changes to
  degree requirements if they
• determine the change is in their best interest.
• If you are a Freshman or Sophomore we strongly
  recommend that you move to the Fall 2009-2010
  after verifying that it will not delay
  graduation.
• If your are a Junior you can select the new
  degree requirements after checking with an
  advisor and exploring the new plan. If you are a
  Senior planning to graduate Spring 2009, Fall
  2009 or Spring 2010 we recommend that you remain
  in your current catalog.
•  When should a student consider a change of
  catalog of their degree requirements?
• If the student want to incorporate the new
  curriculum into their degree plan.
• If the change of catalog will not increase their
  time remaining toward the
• degree.
• If the students minor and or 2nd major will not
  change in the new catalog.
