Practical circumstances beyond the control of the University, such as significant budget shortfalls or unavailability of qualified personnel, may result in restrictions in the choices available to students as compared with those listed herein or in other University publications. The University reserves the right to limit access to or to eliminate particular programs, academic plans, sub-plans, options, minors, or courses. In the event that existing resources make it necessary to limit admission to a plan, sub-plan, option or minor, the admission process will be based on competition for the spaces available. In such circumstances the University undertakes to the best of its ability to enable students already registered in affected programs, academic plans, or options (in the case of Engineering) to complete their requirements in a satisfactory manner.
