2017-18 Catalog

We expect the 2017-18 Catalog to publish approximately March 1. It will be available at catalog.iastate.edu.

Catalog Updates

If you come across an issue in the current catalog that needs attention (curriculum overview, four-year plan, inconsistencies with degree audit, etc.), please alert your department’s / programs’ curriculum committee. Please remember that catalog changes precede degree audit changes.

2018-19 Catalog Preparation

Stage1: Course-level updates (numbers, titles, descriptions, adding, deleting, added cross-lists, etc.) for the 2018-19 Catalog will take place during spring 2017, after the 2017-18 Catalog publishes.

LAS College timeline for submitting course-level edits:
April 1st, 2017 preferred date for submitting course-level edits
April 15th, 2017 final deadline

Stage2: Narrative Edits (e.g. mastheads, 4-year plans, program descriptions, etc.) will take place in fall 2017.
