General Catalog Is Open for Editing

The 2025–26 University of Iowa General Catalog is now open for editing.

You are the first person in your workflow chain to review, update, and approve your General Catalog pages. You must start all pages in workflow by Friday, Jan. 17, 2025.

Access the Catalog for Editing

Firefox, Chrome, Safari, or Edge browsers work best for catalog editing.

1. Visit the General Catalog NEXT site.*
2. Sign in with your HawkID and password.
3. Locate your college on the right side of the screen in the gray navigation box.
4. Click on your college and then on your department/program from the list in the gray navigation box under the administrator’s list.
5. Click on the EDIT PAGE icon.

*Note that the link above is only for your use because you are first in the workflow. Those second and later in the workflow will receive an email from the CourseLeaf Content Management System that gives them a specific link for their updates.

Review and Edit

Review your pages and make updates as needed. You will likely have more than one page to review and send on in workflow. Your department/program page and each major, minor, and certificate program of study are on separate catalog pages. You should have received an email from the catalog team last week linking each page you initiate. Please reach out to us at registrar-publications@uiowa.edu if you did not.

When you have completed your review, send the page to the next person in your workflow by clicking on the green "Start Workflow" button in the lower right-hand corner (viewable when the EDIT PAGE tab is open). The “Start Workflow” button should turn gray which indicates the catalog page has been sent on in workflow. Please be sure to push "Start Workflow" for each of your pages, even if you don't make any edits.

Initiators must start all pages in workflow by Friday, Jan. 17, 2025. The catalog team will start any remaining pages on Tuesday, Jan. 21 to ensure the next people in workflow have time to review the pages before the final deadline of Monday, Feb. 3, 2025. See a complete list of catalog dates and deadlines here.

You will receive a proof email with any questions we may have about your catalog pages. You can let us know at that time if you need to make any additional changes. Please return your responses within three business days.
