Academic Bulletin Information

Which Bulletin Should You Use?

On August 15 of each year, the bulletin of record for an academic year is “frozen” to establish the guidelines and regulations under which each incoming class matriculates.

Bulletin Updates and Corrections

Noncurricular information (i.e., faculty listings, contact information, college or departmental descriptive text) can be updated by contacting the Office of the University Registrar on the Columbia Campus. Any material pertaining to course descriptions or curriculum changes must have the approval of the Faculty Senate, Graduate Council, Board of Trustees, and/or S.C. Commission on Higher Education before it can be published in the bulletins.

Printing Portions of the Online Bulletins

The academic bulletins are available online only. However, you may produce hard copy of any portion or all of an online bulletin using your local printer. Every bulletin page has a “Print” icon in the top right corner of each page.
