| Course Catalog The Office of the Registrar complies and publishes Courses of Instruction by gathering the information from the department (not individual instructors). All course changes must be brought to the attention of the department's catalog coordinator, Penny Rew. Course information published in the catalog becomes the official basis for the Registrar's records; it affects classroom assignments, examination schedules, and the issuing of course lists and grade sheets.
