Catalog Production
About Catalog Production
The University of Kansas catalog is the official record of the curricular requirements and course descriptions that apply to students who formally enter an academic program in that academic year.
The 2025-2026 Academic Catalog has been published. The editing window for the 2026-2027 Academic Catalog will begin in early fall. Visit the CourseLeaf CIM/CAT system to submit all course and catalog changes.
