Submitting Program Changes for L&S Mid-Cycle Guide Update
Most edits need to wait until the annual update call for the Fall 2024 Guide.
Examples of mid-cycle updates for undergraduate and graduate programs:
- Reinsert a course that was accidentally removed
- Remove a discontinued (red-boxed) course
Graduate programs only may update Admissions table items for mid-cycle updates. For example:
- Edit GRE requirement information
- Update the deadline for graduate admissions materials
- Adjust the number of letters of recommendation
Please see the Graduate School Admissions Table Guidelines: https://kb.wisc.edu/grad/89647
Other changes must wait for the Fall Guide cycle.
How to submit changes for mid-cycle governed content:
(How to Get In, Requirements, Learning Outcomes, or four- and three-year plans)
Fill out the Lumen Programs Form to submit changes.
- Undergraduate programs: Please make sure your edits align with the L&S style guidelines: L&S Lumen/Guide Policy & Style Guidelines for Undergraduate Programs

If your proposed change encompasses more than what is described in this document, please plan on submitting a Lumen Program Proposal for Fall 2024 edits. L&S Academic Planning and AIM staff are available for questions and consultation.
