COURSEWORK OPTIONS ARE BASED ON CATALOG RIGHTS
The requirements for a major or minor depend on what the University calls your "catalog rights", which are labeled according to a particular semester and year. Generally, your catalog rights are for the semester and year in which you entered Cleveland State University. (For example, typically, a student who enters the University in Fall 2023, has "Fall Semester 2023 catalog rights".)
You can find the semester of your catalog rights by getting a degree audit report in CampusNet.
The requirements for any set of catalog rights are specified in the University's Undergraduate Catalog, which is published once per year. For example, the major minor, general education or core curriculum, and other academic requirements published in the 2023-2024 catalog specify the expectation of students with Fall 2023 Semester catalog rights, Spring 2024 Semester catalog rights, and Summer 2024 Semester catalog rights.
