The electronic version of the University of California, Riverside General Catalog contains, as nearly as possible, all the information available in the print version. As a result, some files are quite substantial in size. For users with slow transfer time, it may be preferable to obtain a copy of the print version of the 1997-98 University of California, Riverside General Catalog.

The electronic catalog is updated on the same schedule and in accordance with the same regulations as the print catalog. It may be used by students wishing to obtain the approved requirements for their academic program. Students should be certain to access the catalog for the appropriate year. See the Catalog Rights Policy to determine the appropriate catalog year.

Note: not all catalogs are currently available electronically. Print versions of catalogs published prior to the 1994-95 academic year are available in the Special Collections room of the Rivera Library.
