The catalog is “locked” for each year and changes go into the next year’s catalog. The one exception is an egregious mis-print. For example, one year our suspension policy chart got out of alignment while editing – so we went back in to fix it. Otherwise, we treat the catalog as if it were “printed.” This way students do not have rules changing withing their “contract” with the school.
Hope this helps

Subject: Online Catalog Questions--campus guidelines
Hi All;
For those of you that have online catalogs do you have any guidelines you developed or provided to the campus regarding when items like policies/procedures can be updated to the on-line documents? For instance if a policy changes mid-year do you update it to the current catalog or do you put it in a draft for next year’s catalog?
Any suggestions about guidelines (or even guideline documents) would be appreciated as I’m already starting to deal with these questions even as we are just transitioning. It would be nice to hear what others who have gone before have found as best practices.
