Update Your Catalog Workflow(s)
Before the 2019鈥�20 catalog opens for edits in mid-October, we first need to ensure all automated editing workflows are up to date. We understand that updates may be needed to your existing workflows due to any staffing or other changes to your team(s) that impact who should write, edit and approve your catalog content. If you have changes, please submit to us through our workflow update request form. The deadline to submit any catalog workflow updates is Monday, October 8.
If needed, you can also use this form to request a breakdown of current workflow configurations for your page(s).
Support Resources
Find our fully revised step-by-step catalog support slides on our Catalog Production webpage. The slides cover workflows, reviewing and editing catalog pages, linking courses, catalog style rules and more.
The catalog style guide addresses common formatting questions, editing errors and heading levels, and is a great reference tool as you work through catalog edits.
Drop-in Hours
Drop-in hours are open to both new and returning catalog users throughout the editing and review process. Stop by to meet with the catalog team for hands-on assistance with updating your content. No appointment necessary; just bring your laptop!

Coming Soon: Learning Outcomes
Over the next several years, as a part of regular program review and ongoing听campus accreditation efforts, the campus will be moving toward asking each unit to specify what knowledge and skills听students will gain during听the course of a degree program.听These are often known as "learning outcomes" or "learning goals."
The 2019鈥�20 catalog will include space for these learning outcomes听in the form of a new learning outcomes tab for each degree program. If your unit has already crafted and approved learning outcomes听for a degree program, please plan to include them in this space on the respective page.听If not, this space can be left blank and the tab will听not听appear in the final 2019鈥�20 catalog for this program.
For more information about creating learning outcomes听for听its听degree program(s), your unit may听contact the Vice Provost for Academic Planning and Assessment.
