Acalog Catalog Information

ACALOG CATLOG OPEN: 06/01/2023

ACALOG CATALOG CLOSE: Febuary 1, 2024 at 4:00PM

 

Acalog Catalog Summary:

The University of Wyoming utalizes Acalog catalog software, an intuitive catalog experience to engage students.

Acalog Catalog at the University of Wyoming:

The Acalog Catalog is the definitive source for graduation requirements, outlining the course and programs students will need to complete to earn their degrees. The catalog of the University is the document of authority for all students. The information in the catalog supersedes that issued by any other unit if there is conflict between the two.

The Acalog Catalog is used each year to create the degree plans in Degree Works by the Office of the Registrar. If the catalog listing is not correct for the upcoming academic year, the degree plan will also not be correct for the upcoming year for students graduating.

Acalog Catalog Editors:

Each college determines the Acalog Catalog Editors.
