This catalog is prepared annually with current information and is subject to change. It provides general information for Lyndon State College students and applicants. While it does not purport to be a contract, in combination with subsequent publications (semester Class Schedules, the Student Handbook, and special announcements), it outlines requirements and helps identify expectations for students seeking to earn degrees at Lyndon.

While the final version of the college’s Class Schedule is the official announcement of course offerings for that semester, the college reserves the right to cancel courses for lack of sufficient enrollment or to substitute instructors for courses. Students will be given reasonable assistance in meeting graduation requirements, but necessary changes in the Class Schedule may require changes in planning for a degree.
