DELAWARE COUNTY<br />
COMMUNITY COLLEGE<br />
The <strong>Delaware</strong> <strong>County</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>College</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong> serves as the<br />
<strong>College</strong>’s official statement of its program and course offerings.<br />
As such, the catalog current in the year of a student’s matriculation<br />
into any one of the <strong>College</strong>’s programs determines that student’s<br />
program requirements. As with any printed document of this<br />
nature, however, its currency becomes outdated quickly as faculty<br />
routinely update programs and courses to reflect the changing<br />
content and standards in any given field of knowledge.<br />
Consequently, students should also check the <strong>College</strong>’s website<br />
to view the most current edition of the catalog.<br />
