Unit Publications

The Unit Publications series includes brochures, bulletins, calendars of events, directories, histories, manuals, newsletters, planning documents, programs, proposals and reports.

Academic degree program requirements are defined in what is called the university "bulletin" or general catalog. For example, program requirements outline how many credits and what subjects a student needs to complete in order to receive a degree in an academic program within a specific school or college. At theUniversity of Michigan, the degree program requirements are positioned as a contract between the university and the student with regard to the definition and program requirements. Bulletins are arranged chronologically by academic year from 1881 to the present. There is a complete run of college bulletins available via print and digitized copies. As of academic year 2018, print copies of the Bulletin have been discontinued. The online version is available at http://bulletin.engin.umich.edu.
