Linking Guidelines

To keep links to the University Catalog current (with the least amount of maintenance), we ask that everyone linking to the catalog from their own program, college, and/or department Web pages use a “generic Web address.”

That is, when linking to any information in the catalog, DO NOT USE the specific catalog year (07, 09, 11, etc) in the URL to which you are linking.

Do not use: This address includes the specific year format (in bold in the URL, 11), which will become outdated as the university moves on to the next academic year.

Instead, use: . This format OMITS the catalog year in the URL and, thus, will always point to the most current information. The URL used in this example ( will always point to the most current version of this page:

To link to a specific degree option or pattern, the URL used in the link should follow this example:

So, for the English BA Option in Literature,

ENGL is the chapter

ENGLNONEUN is the program code

ENGLLITRBA is the option code
and the URL should read like this:
