Please submit any workflow updates by Monday, Oct. 12, so we can get them in place before edit access opens.

Starting today, academic program pages will open for edits in the 2020–21 catalog. (Non-academic program pages will open for edits in December.)

The 2019–20 CU Boulder Catalog is now live! A reminder that students should refer to the degree, major and certificate requirements listed at the time they formally enter a program.

This new, comprehensive curriculum calendar allows for better integration of campus stakeholders' annual updates across existing catalog and degree audit systems, and streamlines integration between the new curriculum management system (CIM for courses) and degree audit.

As a part of ongoing structural improvements to the catalog, the 2019–20 catalog will utilize the catalog system's borrowed and shared content tools. These tools allow you to edit certain content in one place and have that same content displayed on other related page(s) where applied.

As shared earlier this fall, we've been working on a number of structural improvements to this set of pages in this year’s catalog before starting the related workflows. Namely, we've moved several pages that had been buried in the "About CU" section into the respective career-level catalogs to make it easier for students to find this content.

We're reaching out with a few catalog production updates below. A reminder that Monday, Nov. 19 (end of day) is the deadline for all department-level catalog editors to review and approve their pages.
