The 2025–26 General Catalog’s Historical PDF is Available

You are receiving this message because you were part of the 2025–26 catalog editing cycle or because you are now filling the role of someone who served as an initiator or reviewer. If you no longer work on the General Catalog for your area, and have not already notified the catalog team, please email registrar-publications@uiowa.edu as we are currently in the process of updating the workflow for the next cycle.

The 2025–26 General Catalog's historical PDF is now available on the Office of the Registrar website.

To ensure accuracy and alignment with the historical PDF, the only changes to the 2025–26 General Catalog website from now forward will be updating URLs or administrators. Other changes will be saved for the 2026–27 catalog editing cycle.
