Catalog year refers to which catalog you are following to meet graduation requirements. Radford University policy states a currently enrolled full-time student may meet the graduation requirements listed in the Radford University Undergraduate Catalog in effect at the time of the student's initial enrollment at Radford, or the individual may select to meet the requirements in any subsequent catalog published between enrollment and graduation, as long as the catalog is no more than five years old.  A student may not follow requirements for graduation listed in a catalog in effect prior to the student's enrollment at Radford.

   Students who have been absent from the University for two continuous semesters must meet the degree requirements in force in the Radford University Undergraduate Catalog at the time of readmission.

   Most students select as their catalog year, the year they enrolled at Radford. Whichever catalog year is used, the student must follow all degree requirements listed in that catalog.
