Those aren’t “government” regulations, those are school rules. Meaning you don’t need to talk to the legislature if you don’t like, you merely need to talk to whomever is in charge of the school. Of course, if it is a public school, their school rules may be enforceable in court, meaning the Board of Trustees would have to follow the administrative procedure law to make a change.

If one wants something out of the ordinary it pays to decide on it before going to the school, and get them to say they’ll allow it before you even apply. Normally, for degrees, they want you to have paid two sets of tuition. THe school catalogue sets the rules. Most schools expect you to complete the final year or two at their insititution to give you a degree.

If there are separate schools (e.g. a secular university and a yeshiva licensed to give a B.A.) each school has its own policies.

Also if you want some courses and the school doesn’t offer it, you can usually get permission to take it elsewhere and transfer the credits, as long as you ask in advance.
