All information in this catalog pertains to the 2001-2002 academic year and is correct to the extent that the information was available during its preparation. However, Birmingham-Southern College reserves the right to change course offerings, tuition, fees, rules governing admission, requirements for graduation and the granting of degrees, and any other regulations affecting its students. Such changes are to take effect whenever the administration deems it necessary, whether or not there is actual notice to individual students. Given budgetary considerations and the decision to publish this catalog every two years, the College chooses to tell students about interpretations or policy changes as they occur from time to time. Such information is made available on a campus bulletin board, through student publication, or other means.

Each student is responsible for fulfilling the degree requirements in effect during his or her first year of enrollment at the College or under the requirements of any one catalog in effect during the period of his or her enrollment. The requirements specified by a student's catalog of entry are applicable for a maximum of seven years. After that time, a student is responsible for fulfilling any other requirements in force.

Because Birmingham-Southern College has adopted a new general education curriculum, some information related to this curriculum will be available after publication of this catalog.
