What is an Addendum?
Elizabethtown College publishes our annual Catalog in May of each year. The Addendum is a summary of additions, reactivations, deactivations, and changes that have been approved through faculty governance since the initial Catalog publication. All approved changes and additions made this academic year are reflected in this addendum. The information contained in this publication is the most accurate and up to date information pertaining to academics at Elizabethtown College.
The following question and answer section provided guidance to common questions about how to use this important document. Students should seek guidance on addendum items through the support of their Academic Advisors, and Dean, for course and program planning.
**Please note, the contents of the Addendum do NOT appear in the PDF version of the full Catalog.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Why do we have an Addendum?
A. The Addendum exists to support students and our campus community locate changes or additions approved through faculty governance since the initial publication of the Catalog.
Q. How do I use the Addendum?
A. The Addendum is to be used in company with the 2025-2026 Catalog, not in isolation. This Addendum provides up to date information pertaining to academics at Elizabethtown College.
Q. Does the Addendum supersede the Catalog?
A. The Addendum is an addition to the 2025-2026 Catalog. Items included in the Addendum supersede what is in the published Catalog. However, graduation requirements are governed by the College Catalog dated four years prior to graduation or, for major or minor requirements, by the College Catalog in effect at the time of graduation if the student so chooses. For most students, this means they will follow the requirements of the Catalog in effect when they begin their studies at Elizabethtown College. Students should review the full “Other Graduation Requirements Policy” in the Catalog for more details.
