The Office of the University Registrar and the Next Generation Student Systems (NGSS) project are proud to announce the release of the first stage of the pilot University Catalog for the University of Pennsylvania. The 2017-2018 Undergraduate Catalog will serve as a single source of information about all of Penn’s undergraduate programs, academic policies, and resources, as well as listing courses at all levels of study. While this pilot catalog focuses on traditional undergraduate programs, subsequent phases will include information about graduate, professional, and non-traditional degree programs. 

Presented in a mobile-friendly display, the Catalog is a searchable, secure site that offers prospective and current students, as well as other members of the Penn community and the general public, information about academic opportunities and degree programs at Penn. The Catalog replaces the online Course Register and provides a listing, by subject, of course offerings across the campus at all levels of education.

Many people contributed time and effort to this pilot project. We would like to thank the core team, including staff members from the Office of the University Registrar, Office of the Provost, and the NGSS team. We are also grateful to our partners in the College of Arts & Sciences, Penn Engineering, Penn Nursing and Wharton, who worked collaboratively to create this Catalog.

The Catalog can be found at https://catalog.upenn.edu
