2017-2018 General Catalog


Welcome to SUU’s Online Catalog 

The online catalog is your comprehensive resource for information about courses, majors, minors, and the degree programs offered at SUU. The sections of the catalog covering academic policies and graduation requirements are designed to help you navigate your journey as an undergraduate or graduate student at SUU. As you will see, the My Catalog feature allows you to personalize the catalog to best suit your needs. In addition, the link to DegreeWorks helps you better plan your schedule as you work with your academic advisor each semester.

The Keyword and Advanced Search function on the top left of the homepage have been designed to make it easy for you to seek out information anywhere in the catalog website. The Catalog FAQs   also contain links to sections of the e-catalog students most often seek. And, should you need to print a page from the catalog, you will see the “Print-Friendly Page” icon on the top right side of each webpage next to the Help button. You will also now be able to bookmark webpages you regularly visit in the catalog. Lastly, listed below are descriptions of some of the key content areas of the e-catalog.

While we strive for accuracy in our 2017-18 catalog, we also recognize there may still be errors you find. Please e-mail catalog@suu.edu with any corrections or comments you may have.

Thank you.
