Faculty and staff members who are tasked with updating their departmental and office information in the 2019-2020 University Bulletin need to submit changes to reviewers by Monday, March 11, according to Elise Moentmann, associate provost. Reviewers are typically associate deans. Reviewers then have until Friday, April 1 (three weeks) to go over the changes and decide to submit them for final approval or send them back for revisions.
Course changes and descriptions are handled by the registrar’s office; this deadline is for narrative sections of the Bulletin, for example, program descriptions and requirements. The Smartcatalog tool used to update information can be accessed by going to this link. Access is limited to designated users who have been issued usernames and passwords.
A list of deadlines for Bulletin updates is available here.
For assistance with usernames, passwords, or new accounts, contact Jericho Knight, associate provost’s office, at knight@up.edu.
