Castleton prepares this catalog with the student in mind. While not a contract per se, this catalog, in combination with subsequent catalogs, each semester's Course listing, the College Handbook, and special announcements, identifies the expectations for a student to earn the distinction of being a Castleton State College graduate. Careful and thorough reading will allow the completion of requirements with few, if any, misunderstandings.
Castleton State College reserves the right to make changes in the course offerings, degree requirements, charges, regulations, and procedures contained herein as educational and financial considerations require.
