Responsibility for Maintenance: Registration and Records
Date of most recent changes: June 26, 2023
I. Policy Statement
A matriculated student is one who has been admitted to and has declared a particular degree or certificate program at Onondaga Community College. A non-matriculated student is enrolled in College classes but has not been admitted formally to a degree/certificate program, or has lost matriculated status because of unsatisfactory academic performance or as otherwise set forth in this policy.
Matriculated students who have discontinued enrollment for a period of two consecutive years will be placed on inactive status. Inactive students who wish to regain active status should complete the Returning Student Application Form. Matriculated students may request academic program changes through the procedure set forth in this policy.
II. Reason for Policy
This policy is designed to facilitate efficient use of the College’s academic resources by establishing standards for matriculation and academic program change.
III. Applicability of the Policy
All full- and part-time students at the College, as well as College employees responsible for making determinations affecting students’ matriculated status, should be familiar with this policy.
