University Catalogs

Pertinent university procedures and regulations are addressed in these university catalogs: General Information and The Graduate Catalog. All university programs follow the policies laid out in the Catalog and is considered the “document of authority” for all students. All MS&E students should be familiar with the information provided.

General Information, published annually in July, contains current and historical information about the university and regulations that apply to all students during the academic year printed on the title page. It covers general policies and information for admissions, registration, tuition and fees, academic policies and procedures, student services, and libraries and other academic resources. General Information is intended for use with each of the other issues of the catalog of the university.

The Graduate Catalog is published in July of odd-numbered years and contains degree requirements for both master’s and doctoral students. It also contains the official regulations of the Graduate School, such as continuous registration, time limits, and graduation requirements. It also contains descriptions for most graduate courses offered by all departments, which is where you would find if a particular course is equivalent for another.

The Course Schedule is issued each semester (fall, spring and summer) and is viewable online. Once you select a semester, the webpage contains procedures on how and when to register, lists which classes are available during the semester, when and where they meet, and deadlines. It also contains the final exam schedule and the calendar of the university. You can also find the official university academic calendars here.
