Catalog Summary:

The University of Wyoming utalizes Modern Campus Catalog software, an intuitive catalog experience to engage students. Modern Campus Catalog was previously named Acalog Catalog.  Modern Campus updated the name, but the software is the same.

Catalog at the University of Wyoming:

The 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 Catalog is used each year to create the degree plans in DegreeWorks 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.

Catalog Editors:

Each college determines the Catalog Editors.
