The Palm Beach State College Catalog is an online information and reference guide published on the College's website. The catalog describes College policies, facilities, degree and certificate programs, course offerings, services and personnel. Since the statements contained in the catalog are for informational purposes only, it should not be considered the basis of a contract between the institution and the student.
Generally, the provisions outlined in the catalog are applicable as stated, but the College reserves the right to initiate changes, including but not limited to academic requirements for graduation, without direct notification to individuals. Any statement in this catalog is subject to change by the College. Though the catalog is produced as a reference guide, each student is responsible for keeping apprised of current requirements for graduation for a particular degree or certificate program.
The catalog is reviewed and updated annually. Periodic updates may also be done as necessary during the academic year.
