Title 5 (Section 40401) of the California Code of Regulations reads as follows:
An undergraduate student remaining in attendance in regular sessions at any California State University campus, at any California community college, or any combination of California community colleges and campuses of The California State University may for purposes of meeting graduation requirements elect to meet the requirements in effect at the campus from which the student will graduate either
(1) at the time the student began such attendance or
(2) at the time of entrance to the campus, or
(3) at the time of graduation.
Campus authorities may authorize or require substitutions for discontinued courses. A campus may require a student changing his or her major or any minor field of study to complete the major or minor requirements in effect at the time of the change.
For purposes of this section “attendance” means attendance in at least one semester or two quarters each calendar year. Absence due to an approved educational leave or for attendance at another accredited institution of higher learning shall not be considered an interruption in attendance, if the absence does not exceed two years.
A campus may prescribe that particular requirements be met within as few as seven years of the date of award of the degree.
Cal State East Bay does require that students use the major or minor Catalog at the time of the change or the major or minor at the time of graduation. However, a change of major or minor does not change the student’s graduation requirements Catalog. That is, students may have different catalogs for their major and graduation requirements. For undergraduates, “graduation requirements” includes general education. See the Undergrad Baccalaureate & Program Requirements Chapter for the complete list of requirements for undergraduates.
