The Catalog Program Removal Request form is to be used to request a minor, certificate, or degree program be temporarily removed from the Catalog. Completed forms should be sent to catalogs@shsu.edu during the Catalog Review Cycle (August - November).

Note: Removal from the Catalog does not equate to official deletion from the SHSU Program Inventory, which requires curriculum form completion, submission, review, and approval. Temporary removal of certificates and degree programs are valid for one catalog year. For assistance, please contact curriculum@shsu.edu. 

The Course Prerequisite & Description Update form (maintained by the Registrar's Office) is an electronic form to be used to request changes to prerequisites, corequisites, cross-listing of courses, course restrictions, and course descriptions.

Note: Course Description changes should be submitted during the catalog review cycle (August - November). In addition, prerequisites will not be added mid-catalog term (fall - summer).
