Contact your School/College Guide coordinator to confirm exact deadlines for editing Guide.

Guide is a catalog. Although the URL for it is static, every semester, a new version of it is "published" to that URL which takes the place of the preceding version. Every year, Guide editors are given a window to directly edit all the non-governed content on their Guide pages. When you do so, you are actually editing the new version of the Guide that will publish the subsequent June 1. This new version of Guide completely replaces the existing version on June 1. This means that when that window is open, edits to directory information should be made in both the existing (live) Guide that is published now but will be archived on June 1, and the new Guide that publishes on June 1.

• November 1 - February 1: Locate your program's page(s) in the Next-Guide editing environment.
  • Edit the Contact Information and People for how you would like it to appear after June 1 (see below for instructions).
• February 2 - October 31: Email guideeditor@office365.wisc.edu and request that the live Guide be updated.
  • If the edits are complicated, it is most helpful to send content in a Word document with tracked changes.. Be clear about which specific pages in Guide need the edits (including the Doctoral Minor page - if applicable).
