Reminder: Catalog Editing Training
The General Catalog Video Library contains videos overviewing CourseLeaf workflow, how to edit landing pages, and how to edit program of study pages.

MAUI Course Library: If curriculum changes require a new course to be created or an existing course is revised, these changes must be requested with course approval forms prior to catalog updates.
Degree Audits: The degree audit team continually reviews catalog pages after they have been fully proofed and applies curriculum edits as needed.
Sample Plans: If catalog edits affect the curriculum reflected on a sample plan and an Update Form has not been submitted, the sample plans team will reach out to the program of study's Sample Plan Administrator to prompt an Update Form.

Nov. 11, 2025 –Jan. 25, 2026, the fall 2026 Course Offerings Planner is closed to editing.

Classroom scheduling information (time/day, location, management type, delivery mode, credit hours) including fields related to scheduling requests (description, registration information) should be current and accurate for that session offering prior to submitting the section in workflow to avoid rejection. When Planner is closed, some section information for that session can still be edited; visit the MAUI Help Site for a list and description.
Offerings Planner module in MAUI will remain open for sections in Planning status and courses requesting a non-university classroom (UCR) during the Planner closed period for classroom assignments. Users will need to wait until the Planner reopens to submit any sections requesting a UCR to workflow.

The Planner for fall 2026 will reopen for the review period Jan. 26– Feb. 8, 2026. Once the Planner reopens, you can submit any changes or new sections you did not submit for fall 2026 before the Planner closed. This proof period will allow departments time to submit their offering prior to courses being viewable on MyUI on Feb. 9.
