Requirements (AS-GR) and Associate of Science-Special Requirements (AS-SR).
Specific course requirements for each of the degrees offered by Eastern Arizona
College are identified in the curriculum section of this catalog. Please refer
to the major you intend to pursue at EAC for specific graduation requirements.
Approved Electives
EAC degree programs that are designed to transfer to all of Arizona’s public
universities require you to select your electives from the courses listed in
the Arizona Higher
Education Course Equivalency Guide (CEG). Additional detailed information
is available there.
Select courses from the list for the academic year in which you will be taking
the class. For example, if you are planning to take ART 101 as an elective in
the 2004-2005 academic year it must be included on the list of approved electives
for 2004-2005. Only courses on the approved list for the academic year in which
you take the class can be counted toward degree completion.

Students maintaining continuous enrollment at
any public Arizona community college or university may graduate according to
the requirements of the catalog in effect at the time of initial enrollment or
according to the requirements of any single catalog in effect during subsequent
terms of continuous enrollment. Students may maintain continuous enrollment
whether attending a single public community college or university in Arizona or
transferring among public institutions in Arizona while pursuing their degrees.
1.
A semester in which a student earns course credit will be counted toward
continuous enrollment. Non-credit courses, audited courses, failed courses, or
courses from which the student withdraws do not count toward the determination
of continuous enrollment for catalog purposes.
Example A:
Admitted and earned course credit at a public college or university: Fall 2003
(Active). Continued at a community college: Spring 2004, Fall 2004 (Active).
Transferred to a university: Spring 2005 (2003 or any subsequent catalog).

2.
Students who do not meet the minimum enrollment standard stipulated in No. 1
during three consecutive semesters (fall/spring) and the intervening summer
term at any public Arizona community college or university are no longer
considered continuously enrolled, and must meet requirements of the public
Arizona community college or university catalog in effect at the time they are
readmitted or of any single catalog in effect during subsequent terms of continuous
enrollment after readmission. Students are not obligated to enroll and earn
course credit during summer terms, but summer enrollment may be used to
maintain continuous enrollment status.
Example A:
Admitted and earned course credit at a public college or university: Fall 2002
(Active). Nonattendance: Spring 2003, Fall 2003, Spring 2004 (Inactive).

university during a summer term must follow the requirements of the catalog in effect
the following fall semester or of any single catalog in effect during
subsequent terms of continuous enrollment.
