The Undergraduate Catalog is the official source of the university’s undergraduate academic programs and courses. The catalog should be used as a guide in planning a course of study and in meeting requirements for graduation.  The South Dakota State University Policy and Procedure Manual may be viewed online at: www.sdstate.edu/policies-and-procedures. That website is the definitive source for the most current South Dakota State University policies. Policies duplicated on other websites or in print may not be the most current version. All policies documented on the site are official and supersede policies located elsewhere. South Dakota State University is governed by state and federal law, administrative regulations, and policies of the South Dakota Board of Regents (SDBOR) and the State of South Dakota. South Dakota Board of Regents policies may be viewed online at: https://www.sdbor.edu/policy/Pages/Policy-Manual.aspx.

Per SDBOR Policy 2:20 (www.sdbor.edu/policy/2-academic_affairs/documents/2-20.pdf):

The information contained in this catalog is the most accurate available at the time of publication, but changes may become effective before the next catalog is published. It is ultimately the student’s responsibility to stay abreast of current regulations, curricula, and the status of specific programs being offered. Further, the university reserves the right, as approved by the Board of Regents, to modify requirements, curricula offerings, and charges, and to add, alter, or delete courses and programs through appropriate procedures. While reasonable efforts will be made to publicize such changes, a student is encouraged to seek current information from appropriate offices.

South Dakota State University Non-Discrimination Policy


The University offers equal opportunities in employment and for access to and participation in education, extension, and other services at the University to all persons qualified by academic preparation, experience, and ability for the various levels of employment or academic program or other University service, without discrimination based on sex, race, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, gender, gender identification, transgender, sexual orientation, religion, age, disability, genetic information, veteran status, or any other status that may become protected under law against discrimination.

The University, in conjunction with state and federal law and applicable SDBOR and University policies, is committed to the objectives of equal opportunity, nondiscrimination, and affirmative action. Redress for alleged violations of those laws may be pursued at law, or through the procedures established in University Policy 4:6 through the University Title IX/EO Coordinator.
