THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT ASHEVILLE FACULTY SENATE Senate Document Number 2898S Date of Senate Approval 4/9/98 Statement of Faculty Senate Action: APC Document 22: Editorial Disclaimer Effective Date: 1998-1999 Catalog Add: on the Title Page inside the front cover. The information contained in this catalog is intended for informational purposes only. While this catalog presents policies and programs as accurately as possible at the time of publication, the University reserves the right to revise any section or part without notice or obligation. Students must follow the General Education requirement in effect at the time of their first term of attendance as a degree-seeking student and major requirements in effect at the time they formally declare their major. Students who must reapply and are readmitted must follow the catalog in effect at the time of their readmission. Administrative regulations are not catalog specific and are subject to change at any time. Impact Statement: None. Rationale: The catalog is not really a contact between the university and the student but rather a set of guidelines which the student, faculty, and staff should follow. We must be willing to make changes in degree program requirements, administrative policies, and course listings in order to adapt to the changing demands of society. However, if we continue to claim that the catalog is a contract between the University and the student, we may be held liable for any changes to degree requirements, course offerings, and course descriptions made during a student's academic career.
