Last fall, the Office of the Registrar and OIT Portal and Web Services released a Web-based version of the Undergraduate Catalog to complement the printed version distributed to students and visitors. The content of the new online catalog is updated by college and departmental personnel and reviewed by the Office of the Registrar using a Web-based content management system developed by OIT’s Portal and Web Services group. Starting in fall 2008, the Undergraduate Catalog will only be available on the Web and as a PDF file, eliminating the previous printing and shipping expenses involved in its publication. The online Undergraduate Catalog is available at www.umd.edu/catalog.
