academic catalog

University course directory

An academic catalog is the official publication issued by a college or university that documents its programs, courses, requirements, policies, and procedures.

Sometimes called a course catalog or bulletin, it serves as both a reference guide and a contract of sorts between the institution and its students, specifying what students must complete to earn a degree.

Check the academic catalog for prerequisite requirements.

Students typically follow the catalog in effect when they enrolled.
