A student's catalog year is the year he / she began attending Appalachian State University, not the year the student declared a major. The Program of Study and Four-Year Guides for a major / minor / general education must follow the same catalog year.
Students may change their catalog year by completing the Add or Change Major / Minor / Catalog Year Form on the College of Fine and Applied Arts website if they are currently declared in the college.
There are two methods to check your catalog year if you're unsure:
AppalNet > Student tab > Registration > Check Status to see your Catalog Term
OR
You can also view your catalog year in DegreeWorks:
