Currentness
(a) Each institution shall provide a catalog pursuant to Section 94909 of the Code, which shall be updated annually. Annual updates may be made by the use of supplements or inserts accompanying the catalog. If changes in educational programs, educational services, procedures, or policies required to be included in the catalog by statute or regulation are implemented before the issuance of the annually updated catalog, those changes shall be reflected at the time they are made in supplements or inserts accompanying the catalog.

(1) The specific beginning and ending dates defining the time period covered by the catalog;
(2) A statement of the institution's missions and purposes and the objectives underlying each of its educational programs;
(3) If the institution admits students from other countries, whether visa services are provided or whether the institution will vouch for student status, and any associated charges;
(4) Language proficiency information, including: (A) the level of English language proficiency required of students and the kind of documentation of proficiency, such as the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), that will be accepted; and (B) whether English language services, including instruction such as ESL, are provided and, if so, the nature of the service and its cost;
(5) Whether any instruction will occur in a language other than English and, if so, the level of proficiency required and the kind of documentation of proficiency, such as the United States Foreign Service Language Rating System, that will be accepted;
