Narrative  

The University publishes the online Catalog on a yearly cycle. The University Catalog has been available in its current electronic format since 2013-2014. The Office of the Assistant Vice President for Academic Affairs – Academic Programs ensures that all editions of the online University Catalog are available at the same web address, beginning with the first electronic edition in 2013-2014.

Prior to the 2013-2014 Catalog, the University published catalogs in print as two separate volumes, the Undergraduate Bulletin and the Graduate School Bulletin, each updated every two years. These two print bulletins were last published in 2011-2013. The Edith Garland Dupré Library maintains archival access to full sets of these print catalogs, beginning with the 1902 edition, in the Library’s Louisiana Room, as well as in the general stacks (call number LD3091L6, followed by the catalog’s year, from 1902 to 2011). The Registrar’s office also maintains an archive of past catalogs for internal use.

Students can easily access the current online University Catalog from the UL Lafayette main website, and the homepage reminds students that print copies of past catalogs from 1902 to 2011 are found in Dupré Library.
