2025-2026 Academic Catalogs Now Available
The new 2025-2026 Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs are now available online. The newly published catalogs contain new or revised programs and courses that have reached final approval through Curriculog. Please note that the Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs are each published online once per year. Curriculum proposals currently in progress and any new proposals will be effective for and appear in future catalogs.
Moratorium on Starting New Curriculum Proposals
A short moratorium on starting new proposals began May 30 as we transition from one catalog year to another. This has no effect on proposals already started. You may continue to use Curriculog, but will not be able to start a new proposal during the approximately month-long moratorium. For more information regarding curriculum proposals, visit the Faculty Governance website’s Course and Curriculum pages.
