1. We do not have a PDF of our institution’s college catalog; can we submit the URL/web address?
A: A URL or web address is not sufficient to meet the requirements of submitting the College Catalog. A PDF of your institution’s college catalog is required for two reasons: 1) The New York State Education Department Office of College and University Evaluation needs the catalog to determine the current status and requirements for academic programs; and 2) The Office of the New York State Comptroller needs the catalog in effect at the time TAP audits are done. Therefore, a constantly changing on-line catalog does not meet these regulatory needs.
2. Our institution has two catalogs, one for undergraduate programs and one for graduate programs. How do I upload both?
A: If you have more than one catalog, you can select Add File in the IDEx after you upload your first catalog.
3. Our institution’s main and branch campus share the same catalog. Can I submit it just once?
A: If the main institution and all its campuses have the same catalog, you may submit only one catalog under the main institution. Please send an email to higheredsupport@nysed.gov letting us know this so we can check the branch campuses off as having submitted.
- Separate catalogs must be submitted for the main campus and its branch campuses if they have different catalogs.
