Guide: Editing Based on Content Type

This document provides a general overview of the types of content in Guide tabs.

Introduction

A graduate program's Guide page is a legal, binding agreement with students that displays the requirements for completing awards (degrees/graduate/professional certificates/doctoral minors). This is a relatively static document with updates allowed during certain times of the year. The "normal" cycle for changes publishes on June 1 for each upcoming academic year.

This document only pertains to the Graduate information in Guide; questions about undergraduate or other content should be directed to the appropriate School/College Guide coordinator or academic planner

Types of Content

There are two "types" of content on a program's Guide page.

Governed Content

  • Requires review and approval from department, school/college, Provost's Office (DAPIR), Graduate School (GFEC), and University Academic Planning Council (UAPC).
  • Changes must be drafted and approved via Lumen Programs.
  • See Lumen and Guide KnowledgeBase for documents covering various topics related to system.

Non-governed Content

Directory Information

  • Contains information about people associated with the program.
    • Directory information is also included within non-governed content.

When can I edit my program's Guide page(s)?

Changes to a program's Guide page are implemented for the upcoming academic year. This means while a Lumen Programs proposal may be created, the change(s) is not effective until the June 1 publication of Guide. A general overview of the editing window is listed in the table below.

Contact your School/College academic planner for more information about specific governance deadlines. If you need to make changes to directory information outside of the non-governed edit window, contact the Registrar's Office (guideeditor@office365.wisc.edu) for assistance.
