When I applied to graduate, I was on the latest catalog for everything. A week before graduation, a massive mess erupted when TESU's graduation auditor realized that I was on a combination of programs not allowed under the current application of the award of degrees policy. TESU tried to sweep it under the rug and refused to communicate clearly about the issue, until I pointed out that a senior academic advisor made and approved the set of degrees and brought receipts.
TESU ended up moving me to an older BSBA catalog year so I would have BSBA-CIS&GM instead of BS-CIS&GM. I thought going to previous catalog years was never allowed, but TESU made it happen to cover for their mistakes. I pointed out that a BSBA is still a BS degree, but apparently TESU doesn't see things that way for reasons they could not articulate.
The degree names on my final transcript don't make complete sense to me - they don't fully align with the solution TESU came up with or my expectations of what I would receive.
Instead of being a happy and celebratory time, my graduation was a chaotic and exasperating mess. More than a month later, I'm still quite mad about the whole ordeal.
