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.
