Submitting Curriculum Updates and Revisions

Guidelines and procedures for submitting revisions in general information, degree requirements, and courses are outlined below.

 

Revisions in General Information/Contact Information

Review the information in the current Bulletin pertaining to the relevant unit or program, and send changes via email or as a Word document to  currsys@uga.edu.

 

Revisions in Degree Requirements, Minors, and Certificate Programs

Review the requirements for relevant majors, minors, and certificate programs that appear in the current Bulletin. Submit any corrections or changes to currsys@uga.edu, using the procedure outlined below. Changes can only be submitted for future academic terms; no changes can be made to the Bulletin once it has been published.

• All degree requirements, including college-wide requirements, must be included in the total hours required.

To submit Bulletin revisions: 

• Print out the current degree requirements or copy into a blank Word document from the online Bulletin.
• Make changes on the printed copy or use the Track Changes feature in Word to make the changes.
• Obtain and attach approvals:
  • Department Head
  • Dean
  • If a course from outside the college is added to the program of study, include documentation of approval from the head of the department which offers the course.
• Scan in printed changes or save Word document and send to currsys@uga.edu along with approvals. 
• Curriculum Systems will review revisions and contact units/departments with any questions.
• Approved revisions will be added to the Bulletin and forwarded for inclusion in the DegreeWorks system.

Note: Some Bulletin changes require approval by the University Curriculum Committee. Please contact currsys@uga.edu if any Bulletin changes include addition of or changes to Entrance Requirements or High Demand Selection Criteria, addition or termination of an area of emphasis, or the name change of an area of emphasis.

Archived Bulletins/
Commencement Programs

The Office of the Registrar has digitally archived university bulletins (general catalogues) and commencement programs dating back to the late 19th century.

• For information regarding commencement, course descriptions, and general academia, please visit Archive.org.
• For more recent bulletins (from 1999 to the present), please visit the Bulletin Archives.

When browsing the entire collection, use the sorting parameters on the right side of the page to sort items by “Date”. This is the most useful function when seeking information from a particular year or span of years.
  
Once the appropriate selection has been found, click on the title and choose from the format options located on the left of the screen. For individuals who simply wish to read through a volume without printing, it is recommended to use the “Read Online” option.

Users who wish to print pages will need to click the link for the PDF version, download the PDF (please be patient as these large files can take 5-10 minutes to download), then find the desired pages and print them. Please note that Adobe Acrobat may be required in order to print the pages.

Other available formats of each volume include a full text version, which contains all the text in a stripped-down, Notepad style that allows for easy printing or copying/pasting of content found in the volume.  There are also formats available such as those for Kindle or Daisy.

Please contact the Office of the Registrar at reghelp@uga.edu or 706-542-4040 with any questions.
