UREG Course Cleanup Initiative: First Inactivation Cycle Complete

We are pleased to announce the successful completion of the first course inactivation cycle as part of the UREG Course Cleanup Initiative. This important effort supports the ongoing accuracy and efficiency of the University’s academic catalog.

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of faculty, staff, and administrators across Grounds, we completed the inactivation cycle ahead of the May publication of the 2025–2026 Undergraduate and Graduate Records.

Inactivation Summary

As of April 25, 2025, a total of 4,215 courses have been inactivated:

• 3,676 courses not taught since Spring 2022

• 539 courses that were never taught

These courses are no longer visible to the public catalog but remain available in SIS and UBI for administrative use, historical reference, and reactivation if needed.

Excluded Courses

Several types of courses were excluded from this inactivation process and remain active:

• Courses created or modified within the past two years

• Topics courses (numbered X559 or X5XX)

• Transfer courses (with a “T” suffix)

• Courses that departments specifically requested to retain

Reactivation Process

Departments and schools may reactivate courses at any time using the Course Update form in Modern Campus Curriculum.

What’s Next

Moving forward, UREG plans to conduct this review and inactivation process annually. The next cycle is expected to begin in February 2026 and conclude in April 2026. This timeline will provide ample opportunity for departments to review identified courses and request modifications or exclusions as needed.

We sincerely thank our colleagues for their time, attention, and dedication throughout this effort. Your partnership is essential to ensuring that our academic catalog remains current, meaningful, and helpful to both current and future students.

• 775 courses that have never been taught 
• 4,751 courses that haven’t been offered in the past three years 

• Week of April 21: UREG will inactivate the identified courses. This process involves uploading a formatted file directly into SIS to inactivate multiple courses at once. Each course will be assigned an inactive date corresponding to the day the update is made. No action is required from the schools. 
• Following that: The courses will no longer be visible in university systems. 
• Ongoing:  
• UREG plans to conduct annual reviews of courses that have not been taught in the past three to five years in order to maintain catalog accuracy. Details are forthcoming.  
• Departments will have the ability to request bulk inactivation independently. This process is being developed and will be managed through Modern Campus Curriculum.
