You are receiving this message because our records indicate that the workflow for one or more of your 2026–27 General Catalog pages has not yet been initiated.
Because that date fell immediately after fall break, we are extending the initiator deadline to the end of the day on Thursday, Dec. 4. Please continue to review, edit, and push your pages forward in workflow as soon as possible. Once the Dec. 4 deadline has passed, the catalog team will push pages to the next reviewer in the page's workflow path.
Please keep in mind that this extension reduces the amount of time available to your departmental reviewers. Their deadline remains the end of the day on Friday, Dec. 19, and we will not be offering an extension. Any additional time you hold a page directly shortens their review window.
The catalog team will be reviewing our timeline for future cycles to better align deadlines with the Academic Calendar and holidays moving forward; therefore, an extension will not be offered in the future.
For questions or assistance, please contact registrar-publications@uiowa.edu.
Thank you for your attention and understanding as we keep the catalog process on schedule to ensure timely publication for students participating in orientation programs!

Review and Start Workflow
- Log in to the General Catalog NEXT site.
- You will see two tabs titled "Items" and "Workflow." The pages for which you are the initiator will show on the "Items" tab under "New" or "In Progress."
- Click each page title to open the page.
- Select the "Edit Page" icon in the upper left corner to begin.
- Review all pages associated with your department or program. Each major, minor, and certificate appears on a separate page.
- Make any necessary updates.
- After all updates are made, click the green “Start Workflow” button in the lower-right corner. Once the button turns gray, your page has been successfully sent forward to the next person in your workflow.
- Repeat this process for each page in your "My Items" list, even if no edits are made.
