Ashworth College 2023 Catalog, Third Edition Copyright 2023 Ashworth College. All rights reserved. No part of this catalog and/or materials may be reproduced in any form or by any means without written

permission. Purpose: The Catalog is the official document for all academic policies, practices, and program requirements. The general academic policies and policies govern the academic standards and accreditation requirements to maintain

matriculated status and to qualify for a degree, diploma, or certificate. Ashworth has adopted a `grandfather clause' policy such that students have a right to complete their academic programs under the degree requirements that existed at the time of their enrollment, to the extent that curriculum offerings make that possible. If program changes are made that effect student programs of study, every effort will be made to transition students into a new program of study that meets new graduation requirements. Students proceeding under revised academic policies must comply with all requirements under the changed

program. Reservation of Rights: Ashworth College reserves the right to make changes to the provisions of this catalog and

its rules and procedures at any time, with or without notice, subject to licensing requirements. This catalog is not a contract but merely a general outline of the programs being operated presently by the school.

Certain policies may be grandfathered in at the time of enrollment and other revised policies supersede prior policies.6521
