Good afternoon,
To those of you who submitted your workflow updates to us—thank you! The workflows for your pages have been updated accordingly. If you did not submit any changes, your workflows are the same as they were for the 2018–19 catalog. If you have questions about the workflows for your pages, please email us at catalog@colorado.edu.
Our catalog team will kick off all academic page workflows starting today; non-academic page workflows will begin in December (please see revised production dates below). After each catalog contributor reviews, edits and approves a page, the next reviewer in the workflow will receive an email from catalog@colorado.edu with a link to their approval queue. Catalog contributors who edit/review multiple catalog pages will receive a separate email for each page. Regardless of whether you choose to edit pages as they come in or wait to tackle them all at once, be sure to leave time for everyone in the workflow after you to complete their own reviews by the target dates below.
Please see below for a catalog production update and a few reminders. We hope to see you during our upcoming drop-in hours throughout October and November! We will be holding our first session this Thursday, Oct. 18, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Additional dates, along with session details, can be found on our Catalog Production webpage.
Updated Production Dates: Non-Academic Pages
To accommodate minor structural improvements to the catalog that are currently underway, we have rolled back the timeline for non-academic catalog pages. This includes pages in the “About CU Boulder” section, as well as other top-level section pages within the undergraduate and graduate catalogs such as Admissions, Advising, Enrollment & Records and Student Financials. (By contrast, examples of academic pages include departmental landing pages and program pages.)
Please see updated production dates for non-academic pages below. We look forward to working with all of you who contribute to non-academic pages soon. In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact our team with any questions.
- Friday, Sept. 21: Catalog staff contacted contributors to request workflow updates.
- Monday, Oct. 8: Deadline to submit workflow edits.
- Monday, Oct. 15: Catalog staff initiate workflows for all academic pages; catalog contributors for these pages begin to edit.
- October–November: Catalog staff hold drop-in office hours for catalog contributors.
- Monday, Nov. 19:
- Deadline for departments to submit new course proposals and course revisions.
- Deadline for department-level catalog editors to approve pages.

If you are a contributor to non-academic pages and wish to begin directly editing these pages prior to Dec. 14, we’re happy to work with you to accommodate your team’s needs. Please contact us at catalog@colorado.edu.
Faculty Information & Course Descriptions
Catalog contributors cannot edit faculty information or course descriptions directly. Instead, please submit the appropriate request form:
- To add, edit or delete faculty information, submit our faculty edit request form.
- To modify a course description, complete a course proposal and revision form.
Sincerely,
Naomi Porper & Crystal Eilerman
