General Catalog Is Open for Editing

The 2024–25 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.

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 since 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.

When you have completed your review, send the page on 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.

Updates must be completed by all reviewers in your workflow chain by Monday, Feb. 5, 2024.

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 days.

Questions and More Info

Refer to the General Catalog How-To Guide if you have questions about how to use the catalog content management system.

You can always contact the catalog team at registrar-publications@uiowa.edu if you have questions about editing the catalog or if you have changes to your catalog workflow.

Thank you for your assistance and for reviewing your section promptly!

Photo Updates Coming this Summer

The catalog website was refreshed in summer 2023 to more closely align with the University of Iowa brand. In summer 2024, the catalog team plans to continue the refresh by updating all photos to better fit the new template.

• Photos may be submitted to registrar-publications@uiowa.edu at any time and will be updated over the summer. When you submit your photo, please note on which page you'd like to use the image.
• Photos must be at least 900 x500 pixels; we will accept larger photos than this but cannot accept photos that are smaller.
• Photos must be submitted as .png or .jpeg files. 
• Departments are encouraged to use photos from the UIowa Photoshelter or from the department’s own photo archives to ensure we will not be violating copyright by using this photo on our General Catalog website.
  • When you submit a new photo for consideration, please share the source of the photo.
• All photos are required to include alternative text or “alt text.” Please include alt text when you submit photos to the catalog team. Additional information about alt text is available in the How-To Guide.

If you have any questions about submitting new photos, please email registrar-publications@uiowa.edu.
