UPCOMING SCHEDULING DATES & DEADLINES

The Office of the Registrar has launched its first Microcredential & Badge News newsletter. Learn about new microcredential opportunities, digital badging updates, recently approved programs, and the latest badge-awarding statistics.

The 2026-2027 Religious Holidays Calendar is now available. Compiled by the Office of the Registrar in collaboration with campus partners, the calendar highlights holidays, traditional observances, and major religious days celebrated across our diverse university community. It is intended to support faculty and staff in academic planning and scheduling. For information on requesting religious accommodations, please review the university’s Religious Accommodation Policy.

The 2026-2027 University of Arizona Catalog is now available. The catalog contains a comprehensive listing of academic policies, program descriptions and degree requirements, and a full inventory of courses for the 2026-2027 catalog year. These features, plus academic calendars, archived catalogs, and all other standard features in one unified location, give the campus community one place to access the information.

Please review and update any bookmarks to policies you may have saved on your browser or in documentation for your students, as several academic policies have been consolidated and/or renamed this year.

Please send feedback or questions about the University Catalog to catalog@arizona.edu.

In Spring 2026, updates were made to add the Civic Institutions requirement, simplify language by removing detailed course criteria, allow a completed AA or AS degree to fulfill all General Education requirements, update office naming to the Office of the Registrar, and permit older coursework (over 8 years) to apply to General Education and electives in alignment with the Time Limits policy.

In Spring 2026, updates were made to undergraduate course syllabus expectations to improve clarity and consistency across courses. The updates require distribution or posting of syllabi on the first day of class and organize required syllabus elements into clearer categories. Additional updates include guidance for individualized learning experiences and relocation of the policies to the University Catalog for improved access and alignment with academic policies.
