011.1 Distribution of Furman University Catalogues

A. Background

Recent increases in the cost of printing have made it necessary for Furman to print a smaller number of general catalogues. Because of the limited number available for use, it is necessary to place certain restrictions on their distribution.

B. Policy

Furman University general catalogues are for the use of currently enrolled students, for prospective students who have applied for admission to Furman, and for the office use of Furman faculty, administration, and staff. A limited number of catalogues are available for members of the Board of Trustees and Advisory Council and other friends of the university.

C. Guidelines

1. Furman University, a viewbook, is used for general information about the university in lieu of the catalogue where possible, especially in response to inquiries by prospective students and their parents.

2. The Division of Graduate Studies and the Division of Continuing Education use prepared brochures or special bulletins with their students and prospective students.

3. A limited number of the general catalogue (Furman University Catalogue) are sent to other institutions and libraries based on the university mailing list approved by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean.

4. The number of copies of the catalogue available for each administrative and staff office will be determined by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean.

5. Copies for each academic department will be distributed by the Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean.

6. After initial distribution, available copies of the Furman University Catalogue will be kept in the Assistant Registrar's Office for faculty, staff, and enrolled students who have not received their one free copy.

7. New undergraduate students entering Furman will be given one copy of the catalogue during September orientation or during registration in January or March. Parents of new undergraduate students entering Furman may request a copy of the catalogue from the Associate Dean's Office. Returning students will be given one copy during registration in September.

8. Students who wish to receive additional copies may purchase them in the University Store.

9. The Marketing and Public Relations Office will mail catalogues to members of the Board of Trustees and the Advisory Council.

10. The Admissions Office will give catalogues to prospective undergraduate students after they have applied.

11. The Graduate Studies Office will give catalogues to prospective graduate students after they have applied.

12. The Graduate Studies Office will give catalogues to enrolled graduate students.

13. The Division of Continuing Education provides an (separate) Undergraduate Evening Studies Catalogue to each current student, as well as each prospective student.
