Catalog and Class Schedule

 

Where do I get the Class Schedule?

The class schedule is available online through "My Sac State." Information on registration, fees, GE, academic requirements, and advising is included in the Student's Registration and Advising Handbook, available in the Bookstore as well as online at http://www.csus.edu/schedule/Fall2008Spring2009.

How do I get a Sacramento State Catalog?

The catalog is available online at http://aaweb.csus.edu/catalog/. You can also purchase a hardcopy of the catalog at the college bookstore.

When does the new printed catalog take effect?

New catalogs go on sale in May of even years; changes in requirements reflected in the new Catalog go into effect in the Fall term.

What are "catalog rights" and how are they determined?

Undergraduate students maintaining "attendance" in any combination of California community colleges and campuses of the California State University system receive "catalog rights" which determine their graduation requirements. Students may elect the requirements in effect at (1) the year they began their study at a California community college or CSU campus (POST high school graduation), (2) the year they entered Sac State, or (3) the year they graduate from Sac State.

"Attendance" has been defined as enrollment in at least one semester or two quarters in each calendar year.

Once catalog rights are established, absence related to attendance at another accredited institution of high learning is not considered an interruption, providing the absence does not exceed two years.

I took college courses in high school – does this determine my catalog rights?

No. While you can apply those courses to Sac State requirements, your catalog rights do not begin until you graduate from high school and start your first term at a CSU or a California community college.

Can I choose a different catalog for my major than for GE?

Yes, every student has two catalogs: GE catalog and major catalog. While the GE catalog is determined by the earliest enrollment and continued attendance (defined above), the major catalog is often assigned at the term of admission to Sac State for the major. Students may choose to follow any of the catalogs listed: GE catalog, Admissions catalog, or your catalog of graduation.
