2009-10 Catalog Change Control Page
The purpose of the Catalog Change Control page is to record all changes to the 2009-10 University of Arizona General Catalog.
The General Catalog will always contain the most up-to-date version of any
policy, program or departmental information.
When a change is made to the 2009-10 General Catalog, new content will
replace previous content in the Catalog itself. A note will be added to the
changed content with a hyperlink to this page.
Hyperlinks will be created on this page to both previous and current content or the changed text will be reproduced here,
allowing an overview of all changes. Changes will be organized according to
Catalog section.
NOTE: Some General Catalog content
including, but not limited to, Course Descriptions, Majors & Degrees and Minors
is generated dynamically and referenced by the General Catalog web site. This
page may not record all changes to dynamically-generated content, although
substantial changes will be noted here.
Please refer to the About the Catalog page for information on how to obtain previous years' course descriptions.
Academic Program information for previous Catalog years is available through the Majors & Degrees and Minors pages, respectively.
