This catalog provides a compendium of the rules governing academic work at the university; students are therefore advised to refer to it regularly.

In addition to the contents of this catalog, students are responsible for keeping informed of policies and procedures published in the school's Schedule of Classes and of notices posted on bulletin boards in the School of Communication and Information building and to official listservs of academic programs in the school.

Curriculum changes in existing programs may be under development. Consequently, students should be aware that the information in this catalog may be revised, and should consult with academic advisers and school websites for current information on the status of all programs.
