COLLEGE CATALOG FORMAT

Check with your school if you need to obtain a printed college catalog. Most colleges will have a hard copy of the catalog in Admissions or Advising. To find information online, look at your college's website for an electronic version to download to your computer.

Most catalogs will have the following sections or contain this information:
- Policies, Procedures, and Resources
- Academic Information including an outline of each degree
- Course Descriptions

Detailed lists in the catalog will tell you:
- the classes you need to take to earn your degree or certificate
- the prerequisites you must fulfill before entering certain classes
- what policies and procedures you must follow for all departments or areas of the college
