CourseDog - Edit a Catalog Page

Catalog content contributors are prohibited from directly editing a page in the UCSB Catalog in CourseDog. Rather, they are required to submit a change request for the page itself, and once submitted, that request will be sent to the Registrar’s office for final quality control and submission into the catalog.

This article will give instructions on how to submit a change request for a Catalog page.

1. Login to CourseDog using your UCSBNetID and Password

2. Select ‘Catalog’ from the available products.

   1. Upon logging into CourseDog you will either be immediately redirected to the ‘Your Products’ screen, and it looks like this:
      
      

      Open

      

       

   2. Or you can select the product from the bento menu button in the upper right corner of the screen:
      
      
      

      Open

      

      
      
      
      

3. Search for the page you would like to submit a change request for and ensure that the appropriate Catalog year is selected from the dropdown at the top of the page.
   
   
   

   
   
   
   

4. Once you navigate to the page from the search results, in addition to being able to read the page, in the box to the right, several options will be available to you:
   
   
   

   
   
   

5. From this box, select the ‘Request Changes’ option
   
   
   
   

   
   
   

6. You will be redirected to the Request Catalog Page Changes screen:
   
   
   

   
   
   
   

7. Input a reason for the change, this is a required field:
   
   
   

   
   
   
   

8. Make your changes to the body of the page:
   
   
   

   
   
   

9. Once you have completed your changes, you can view those changes on the fly by selecting the ‘View Changes’ option in the upper right dialog box:
   
   
   

   
   This displays a new screen that shows your changes compared to the original text.
   -If you’re adding new text, changes will be highlighted in green and underlined.
   -If you’re removing existing text, changes will be highlighted in red and struck-out.
   
   
   

   
   
   
   

10. Once your changes are complete and you’ve provided a reason for the changes, click the ‘Submit Request’ button:
    
    
    

    
    
    
    

11. Your request will be added to the Registrar’s review queue for approval or rejection. You will receive a notification of the outcome via email and in your CourseDog dashboard.
