Changes in Rules and Policies

Although every effort has been made to assure the accuracy of the information in this catalog, students and others who use this catalog should note that laws, rules, and policies change from time to time and that these changes may alter the information contained in this publication. Changes may come in the form of statutes enacted by the legislature, or rules and policies adopted by the Board of Trustees of the California State University, by the CSU Chancellor or designee, or by the CSUMB President or designee. It is not possible in a publication of this size to include all of the rules, policies, and other information that pertain to students, CSUMB , and the California State University. More current or complete information may be obtained from the appropriate department, school, or administrative office.

Nothing in this catalog shall be construed as, operate as, or have the effect of an abridgment or a limitation of any rights, powers, or privileges of the Board of Trustees of the California State University, the CSU Chancellor, or the CSUMB President. The trustees, chancellor, and president are authorized by law to adopt, amend, or repeal rules and policies that apply to students. This catalog does not constitute a contract or the terms and conditions of a contract between the student and the institution or the California State University. The relationship of the student to the institution is one governed by statute, rules, and policy adopted by the legislature, trustees, chancellor, president and their duly authorized designees.
