Course Catalog - General Information

Click or enter to reveal information below Click or enter to hide information below

Basic Overview

-What is the General Catalog? 

  • The General Catalog is comprised of the Courses, Calendar, Academic Programs, Academic Support, Policies, and Archived General Catalogs.  The current policies, structures, and setup of the University of Arizona are contained on this website.  The Courses and Policies section will be most useful to departments as they create and maintain their curriculum as the UA. The policies section contains course policies comprised of HLC, ABOR, and the University of Arizona policies.  These policies ensure a high-quality education to UA students across Campuses, Colleges, and Departments. 

-What is the Course Catalog?

  • The Course Catalog houses the structure of courses offered at the University of Arizona. The structure provides the course title, description, units, typically offered, grading basis, repeat for credit rules, course attributes, offerings, academic organization, requirement groups, requisite text (Catalog note), field trips, component type(s) (lecture, discussion, lab, etc.). It lives in UAccess and is used administratively by Departments and Colleges. 

-What is the Browse Catalog?

  • The Browse Catalog also provides the basic structure of a course offered at the University of Arizona. It is linked to the Course Catalog and the Schedule of Classes. It provides the overview of the course's learning outcomes, units, grading basis, and component type (lecture, lab, etc.). It lives in UAccess and is used by current and incoming Students. 

-What is the difference between the General Catalog, Course Catalog, and Browse Catalog?

General Catalog contains all information regarding the setup and structure of the Academic side of the UA, with an emphasis on course policy that is maintained by Curricular Affairs.  Room and Course Scheduling uses the policies to setup courses in the Course Catalog once courses are approved by Curricular Affairs. The Course Catalog is then used to build the official Schedule of Classes, with the approved “structure” and set-up of a section being pulled from the Course Catalog. Browse Catalog is open to the public, a more public friendly view to see what could be offered, and there are links to the Schedule of Classes for what will actually be offered, as well as when the course was previously offered.

-How are courses managed in the Course Catalog by Room and Course Scheduling?

RCS receives Course Forms from departments and process accordingly. There are three types of Course Forms: Add, Modify, and Inactivate.

-When can I add/modify/inactivate courses in the Couse Catalog?

Dates & Deadlines page! Anything submitted after the deadline will not be given priority.

- Where do I go to add/modify/inactivate my courses?

UAccess Administrative login> Navigator Bar> Curriculum Management> UA Curriculum Management>Course Management> UA Course Add, UA Course Modify, and UA Course Inactivate.

-What is an add course form?

Adding a new historical record of a course or creating a course that does not already exist. Creating a new Course # ID.

-What is a modify course form?

Adjusting features or information of an already existing course or course #ID i.e., changing units.  

-What is an inactivate course form?

To deactivate a section and no longer make course active. Making the course inactive for future semester to come.

-What is the difference between an add, modify, and inactivate course form?

An add form creates a new Course # ID, a modify form makes changes to an existing Course # ID (less than 25% change), and an inactivate form deactivates a course entirely.

-What priority do my course forms have?

Forms that reach the final approval status before the term deadline are given priority for processing.  Any Course Form submitted after the deadline will not be given priority.

How are course forms routed in the Course Catalog workflow?

RCS receives Course Forms, reviews the form to be sure the structural pieces are filled out, and routes the form.  Mistakes or lapse of information on the form may lead to delays or denial of forms. RCS routes each Course Form to the corresponding department on the approval route (approval may be necessary from multiple people within the department). 

-Who are course forms routed to?

Department heads, college deans with provisioning to approve course courses for the departments and colleges. Also, departments such as Curricular Affairs, Honors College, UWGEC, or departments who are listed as a secondary or whose courses are listed as pre/co-requisites. Please note that Curricular Affairs (Curriculum on the route), is responsible to review the policy compliance for course content. syllables. 

-What are the roles of the people in the route?

To approve and sign off on the add, modification, or inactivation of a course. Needs multiple people to sign off on the request and completion of the Course Form. RCS is the first and last department routed in the process to ensure consistency.

-Why does my course form need to be routed?

UA Policy. To confirm and manage correctly the record of a course in compliance with UA policies.

-How do I check where in the workflow my course form is?

Once a Course Form is submitted, the person who submitted the Form can always sign back into the UAccess Administrative Login page and go to the corresponding type of Form that was submitted.

Under the UAccess Navigator Bar>Curriculum Management>UA Curriculum Management>Course Management> UA Course Add, UA Course Modify, and UA Course Inactivate. Select which type of form you had sent in. Course Forms are specific to the type sent in.
