Office of the Registrar

General Catalog Editing

The Office of the Registrar will open the 2023–24 General Catalog on Monday, Dec. 5 for your review. All updates should be made via the catalog's content management system (CMS).

Those who are first in workflow for a page (initiators) will receive an email letting them know when they can access the system. Everyone else in the workflow will receive an email when it is their time to review the catalog. Please note: These emails are generated by the catalog's workflow system and not the university's universal workflow.

General Catalog Open for Editing

Due Date

Updates must be completed by all reviewers in your workflow chain by Monday, Feb. 6, 2023. You will likely have more than one catalog page to review and send in workflow. Your departmental/program page and each major, minor, and certificate program are on separate catalog pages.

Additional Information

Courses

Most of the course information in the catalog is extracted from the course approval forms submitted through the MAUI Course Library. If you submit course revisions or deletions, make the effective session on the forms no later than fall 2023 if you want them to be reflected in the 2023–24 catalog. If you add new courses, you can make the effective session on the forms no later than spring 2024 to be included in the catalog.

Workflow Changes

The catalog workflow chain in your departmental/program was updated in mid-September. If you need to make additional changes to individuals in your workflow, please contact the catalog team at registrar-publications@uiowa.edu.

Editing

After submission, your copy may be edited by the catalog team. You will have the opportunity to do a final review of your catalog pages at the proof stage.

Sample Plans of Study

Sample plans will not appear in the published catalog until a program’s pages are completed by the department and the sample plan team can confirm a plan will match 2023–24 catalog requirements. If you have any curriculum changes, an advisor or coordinator associated with your program can review and update the sample plan in MAUI. Updates should be submitted by Friday, Mar. 31 to ensure timely inclusion in the catalog. You can contact the sample plan team by email at reg-sample-plans@uiowa.edu.

Questions

If you have questions about course information, deadlines, or how to use the CMS, contact registrar-pubications@uiowa.edu or 319-467-1013 (Chelsea).
