2026–27 General Catalog Workflow and Editing

Our records show you are listed as the initiator for one or more 2026–27 General Catalog pages that have not yet been started in workflow.

Your catalog pages must have their workflow initiated by end of day Monday, Dec. 1. Please log in, review your pages, complete all updates, and click the green "Start Workflow" button by this deadline.

If the deadline is missed, the Catalog Team will start your workflow to ensure your departmental reviewers can still review and make necessary changes before their Friday, Dec. 19 deadline. Adherence to catalog deadlines ensures timely catalog publication for students attending orientation programs. A complete list of deadlines for your college is listed below.

Additional resources are available on the General Catalog Editing and Review webpage (linked below) and in the 2026–27 General Catalog Now Open for Editing message sent Oct. 27.
