Changes to the Bulletin
Every effort is made to ensure that the information, policies and other materials presented in the Bulletin are accurate and correct as of the date of publication. For more information about the content review process for the Bulletin, please visit the Catalog Editions page.
The Bulletin for the upcoming academic year is published annually on July 1, and certain post-publication changes may be made until October 1. To view a list of changes that have taken place after the July 1 publication date, please visit the Program & Policy Updates page.
Washington University reserves the right to make changes at any time without prior notice. Therefore, the electronic version of the Bulletin and the policies set forth therein may change from time to time without notice. The governing document at any given time is the then-current version of the Bulletin, as published online, and then-currently applicable policies and information are those contained in that Bulletin.
Discontinued Programs
Students enrolled in programs that discontinue admitting new students during their tenure are expected to meet degree requirements published in the Bulletin and in place during their year of matriculation. If a program's requirements change, a student may request to change to a subsequent version effective during their enrollment, which is subject to approval by their school. Students who leave the university may not be allowed to return to a discontinued program depending on the time frame the university has agreed that the program will teach out remaining students.
Students are held to other policies in effect and as published for the current academic year.
For more information, please visit the Prior Bulletins page.
Year of Matriculation
