What is the course catalog and how can I use it to my advantage?

The course catalog at most institutions is a book that's printed or published periodically. It is not a regular publication, but one that is printed about every three to five years. In that book is essentially the contract between you as the student and the college. When a student enters the college, what we call the contract year that the student enters the college, they follow those rules and that book for the rest of their time, four/five years in school. In that book are descriptions of all the courses that are available. Usually, it also lists patterns of study to graduate and the number of credits/units required in your major and in electives. It also describes general policies, academic policies, and other social and campus life policies.
