If enrollment is interrupted, students must elect to meet requirements in effect at the time of reentry or the time of graduation.

Multiple Degree Policy

Snow College students may earn only one academic degree in most cases. Students may not receive two general associate degrees [i.e. Associate of Science (AS) and Associate of Arts (AA)]. This means students are only able to declare and earn one Major or Meta-Major for a non-specialized or applied associate degree.

In specific circumstances, students may receive two separate degrees from Snow College. They are as follows:

• Snow College will award students multiple certificates if they have fulfilled the necessary requirements for each certificate.
• Students may receive two degrees if they are at different levels (e.g. a certificate and an associate degree or an associate degree and a bachelor degree).
• If students earn an associate degree in a specialized or applied area (e.g. AAS, APE, AFA) they may also earn a general associate degree (AS or AA).
• A second bachelor degree may be awarded when all requirements for both degrees are satisfied, and if at least 30 credits of course work is different and residential requirements are met.

Graduation Catalog Requirements

Candidates for graduation will be held to the requirements of the catalog under which they were admitted. Students have a maximum of:

• 1 year to complete certificate programs
• 3 years to complete associate degrees
• 6 years to complete bachelor degrees

When students take longer than the given years to complete, they must have attended Snow College during the Catalog Year to use those degree requirements towards graduation.

Programs that are no longer being offered may not be pursued by students who were not admitted or formally matriculated into that program during the accepted period of time. Students may not combine portions of different catalogs to fulfill graduation requirements. Once a catalog is selected, students must abide by all the graduation requirements specified within that catalog.

All Catalog Year change requests should be initiated by the student. However, all registered students with a catalog year prior to Fall 2025 may automatically have their catalog year updated to reflect the General Education requirements for Associated Degrees that went into effect as of Fall 2025. The changes should not negatively impact any student in an AS or AA program as the new degree requirements for an Associate Degree were lowered and no additional requirements were added.
