What Is a Catalog Year?
A catalog year is a student's degree plan when they first begin at a university. It consists of the classes a student needs to take for their degree, in order to graduate. Students have the option to change their catalog year to any year after their initial first year at the university. Students may change their catalog year due to different degree plans and requirements in later catalog years. For example, a student starting at Miami Regionals in 2018 would have a 2018 catalog year (degree plan). They can change their catalog year to a more recent one, such as the catalog year 2022. This student can also go back to previous catalog years, but it cannot go past their initial catalog year.

Success Tip
To check your catalog year you need to run a Degree Audit Report (DAR). This allows you to check that your catalog year has not changed. If you want to change your catalog year and discuss the different requirements that might suit you better, talk with your assigned academic advisor for more information.
