2025–26 Catalog: Getting Started
Thank you to everyone who submitted workflow edits for the 2025–26 catalog production cycle! If we didn't receive any updates to your workflows, then the same people who reviewed your catalog pages last year will be set up for catalog review access again this year. If your workflows are affected by any additional staffing changes this fall, please let us know by submitting a workflow update.
Getting Started
As previewed, we began kicking off the workflows for academic program pages in the 2025–26 catalog this week.
- If you're the first reviewer in the workflow, you should receive an automated email for each page as it’s ready for your review with a link to access your approval queue.
- If you're set up to edit/approve catalog pages but not as the first reviewer, you'll receive an email as soon as those ahead of you in the workflow have completed their review and approved the page(s).
- If you’re reviewing other catalog pages including those related to university policies, procedures, student services and more, a reminder that these pages open for edits beginning Dec. 15.
For pages where you need to update curriculum information (e.g., program requirements, plans of study, learning outcomes), don't forget to:
- Propose your curriculum edits through .
- Approve the catalog page and the corresponding CIM program edit form from . We recommend approving both at the same time. Note: Curriculum edits submitted in CIM will only display on the corresponding catalog page after they’ve been fully approved, but please be assured that they’ve been received.
Remember, the target department/unit review deadline for academic program pages is Dec. 15. (View all upcoming catalog dates & deadlines.) Please ensure updated program learning outcomes are included in your submission, and contact Aaron Zimmerman if you have any questions related to program learning outcomes.
Submitting Course & Faculty Updates
A reminder that some of the information displayed in the catalog is pulled in from other campus systems and must be edited in those systems accordingly. Once approved/processed, edits will automatically carry over within the catalog as well.
- . All course proposals and revisions are managed through our curriculum inventory management system (CIM). To learn more, see Course Proposals.
- Request faculty updates. Only the catalog production team has access to modify the catalog's faculty database. To learn more, see Faculty Lists.
