The responsibility of fulfilling graduation requirements first and foremost rests with the student. Since the Eastern curriculum is dynamic and constantly evolving, requirements may change over time. However, students must meet all requirements of the applicable curriculum, which based on the specific catalog term at the time of matriculation in a degree program (Curriculum/Catalog effective in the term of Admission to the University).

For those students whose matriculation is interrupted and continuation requires readmission to the university, the requirements of the catalog for the semester of readmission become applicable.
