Announcements

UC Davis General Catalog 2027-2028 Review Cycle

Yep, it’s almost that time, again! Pages are available for review & editing at noon Dec 18, 2026; move your page(s) to the next workflow level by Jan 22, 2027. For more information and Important 2027-28 Dates & Deadlines, see General Catalog Resources.

A reminder that all program changes must have UGC approval and college approval before the changes can be catalog-published; see Establishment, Revision, and Discontinuation of Undergraduate Academic Degree Programs. For more information, contact Randall Maynard.

Reminder: General Catalog's Content-Sharing Blocks for SiteFarm Websites

A few years back now, the SiteFarm & IET teams worked with OUR to create SiteFarm content blocks allowing you to share/pull catalog content into your SiteFarm website. You can use the blocks to single-source your department’s course subject code list, major & minor requirements tables, and catalog information & policy content. The blocks update whenever the catalog content updates, even mid-year. So, no more non-parallel data! For more information, see CourseLeaf Catalog blocks or contact Randall Maynard.

We thank Monica for her dedication and many contributions and wish her a fulfilling retirement. An active recruitment is underway to fill the position.
