Understand the significance of both years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first term you attend determines your BACR and Graduation Requirements Catalog Year.  The term in which you declare a major determines your major catalog year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep&nbsp;track of this catalog year. It contains the university requirements needed to graduate and&nbsp;<strong>will&nbsp;not&nbsp;change<\/strong>. It details the&nbsp;specific year program requirements needed to graduate. <em>If you redeclare this catalog year&nbsp;<strong>will change<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the&nbsp;<strong>10th day<\/strong>&nbsp;of each summer quarter, students will be declared in the catalog for the following fall.
