2024–25 General Catalog is Live

The 2024–25 General Catalog is now live!

You may need to clear your cache to be able to see this new version.

This edition of the catalog is published around June 1 in order to be available for new University of Iowa students participating in orientation programs. Sample plans will continue to be added throughout the summer. The final edition of the catalog and a complete PDF version will be available after the creation of the archival PDF this fall.

Please direct any questions regarding the catalog to registrar-publications@uiowa.edu.

Creation of the Archival PDF

The archival PDF of the 2024–25 General Catalog will be created on Friday, Aug. 30, 2024.

Any changes between now and the PDF creation should be minimal, related to the opening or closing of a program of study, adding or removing a course, or updating departmental administrators. Note that changes must be approved by the program college and may not be feasible given downstream effects in other areas of the Office of the Registrar. The curriculum management teams (catalog, degree audit, sample plans, program of study/academic structure, and course library) address late changes on a case-by-case basis.

The archival PDF preserves the final web version of the catalog in PDF format for historical purposes and Veterans Affairs compliance. You will be notified when the archival PDF has been published.

2025–26 Curricular Changes

Looking ahead, consider discussing curricular changes for the 2025–26 academic year over the summer or early in the fall. The catalog will open for edits at the beginning of November and close at the beginning of February. Any curricular changes, including updates to courses, requirements changes, new programs of study, etc., must be included in the catalog as the authoritative source of curricular requirements for the University of Iowa. Curriculum changes flow from the catalog to degree audits and sample plans.

Many colleges have internal processes and approvals to change curricula and some changes require Board of Regents approval and are therefore subject to their meeting schedule. The earlier curricular change conversations begin, the better for all parties involved.

Involving the Office of the Registrar’s curriculum management team early and often can help these changes move through the process smoothly. Reach out to us at registrar-publications@uiowa.edu and we will connect you with the appropriate member(s) of the curriculum management team.
