As you know, many changes have occurred in the past year with regard to degree audit and the addition of a degree tracking system. We are now better positioned to implement the degree requirement updates for 2012-13 and are happy to announce that the deadline for submitting these updates has been extended from December 2011 to February 10, 2012. We hope that this extension will enable academic units the time needed to assemble curriculum committees, make decisions and submit updates for the 2012-13 UA Catalog.

Historically we have been very flexible with regard to deadlines, a practice that can be detrimental to students trying to plan their academic careers. The UA Catalog is the official record of academic programs, requirements and courses to which students are held accountable. As such, the information contained in the Catalog must be accurate. All updates received by the February deadline will be entered in the degree audit, degree tracker and 2012-13 UA Catalog and made available to current and future students next spring in time for them to make decisions about programs and courses for the 2012-13 academic year.

A new Degree Requirement Updates web site (http://confluence.arizona.edu/confluence/display/DRU/Degree+Requirement+Updates) has been created to assist you in reviewing the degree requirements for academic programs in your college/unit. A document titled "Updating and Submitting Degree Requirements" is available on the site and contains complete instructions for reviewing current degree requirements and major/minor sequences, making updates, and submitting the updates by the February 10 deadline for inclusion in the 2012-13 UA Catalog and degree audit/tracker systems. The new process was presented to advising coordinators at the UAAC meeting yesterday.

If you have any questions about the process for updating and submitting degree requirements for 2012-13 please send your inquiries to DEGREERQMTUPDATES at LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU<mailto:DEGREERQMTUPDATES at LISTSERV.ARIZONA.EDU>. The degree audit and degree tracker teams receive messages sent to this email address and the first available representative from one of these teams will respond to your message as quickly as possible.

Please direct all curriculum questions directly to me at pattik at email.arizona.edu<mailto:pattik at email.arizona.edu>.

Please help us by submitting 2012-13 degree requirement updates no later than February 10, 2012, so we can publish complete and accurate information for the students who rely on this information to make important academic decisions.

Best,
Patti
