Each Catalog covers an academic year that reflects enrollment beginning with the fall term and includes subsequent spring and summer terms. Having “Catalog Rights” means students are held to the graduation requirements listed in the Catalog at the time enrollment begins. Students may choose to use Catalog Rights for any subsequent year of continuous enrollment. For Cañada College, College of San Mateo and Skyline College, catalog rights apply to enrollment in any of the San Mateo County Community College District colleges. 

For the purpose of this policy, "continuous enrollment" means attending at least one term (fall, spring, summer) each academic year. Attendance is required through the fourth week of instruction for semester length classes or thirty percent (30%) of summer classes and semester classes that are shorter than the full semester. Catalog Rights cannot supersede any State or Federal regulation or requirement in effect at the time of graduation. 

Catalog Rights do not apply to any program that has been inactivated and no longer offered by the respective college after the appropriate teach-out period has passed. Refer to “Program Inactivation and Teach-out" for further information. 

This is the official annual "Catalog Rights" edition of the Cal-GETC and AA-AS Degree Worksheets.

Every effort is made to ensure that the course information, applicable policies, and other materials presented in the Cañada College Catalog are accurate and current. In the event that information requires updating, it will be reflected in the web-based version of the Catalog in the form of an Addendum. The web-based version of the Catalog is a guide only, and may differ from the official published version for a particular academic year. Please refer to the Catalog Rights PDF version of the Catalog and the published Addendum PDF sheet when checking Catalog Rights for the 2025-2026 academic year.
