Administrative Copies

Printed administrative copies of the academic bulletins will be available for reference in Thomas Cooper Library, the School of Medicine Library, Coleman Karesh Law Library, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, The Graduate School, the Office of the Provost, and each college, school, and department office.

Bulletin Updates and Corrections

Noncurricular information (i.e., faculty listings, contact information, college or departmental descriptive text) can be updated by contacting the production editor. Any material pertaining to course descriptions or curriculum changes must have the approval of the Faculty Senate, Graduate Council, Board of Trustees, and/or S.C. Commission on Higher Education before it can be published in the bulletins. As a general rule, copies of meeting minutes and official approval forms are sent directly to the production editor. Approved changes should appear in the updated bulletin(s) in a timely manner and are indicated by green text.

Printing Portions of the Online Bulletins

Except for a limited run of administrative copies (copies of which are available for reference in the USC libraries), the academic bulletins are available online only. However, you may produce hard copy of any portion or all of an online bulletin using your local printer. You print these pages just as you would print any other Web pages. Choose the print command under the "File" menu heading once you are viewing the pages you would like to print. Some browsers offer a "Print Preview" option so that you can see exactly how your printed pages will appear.

You may also copy text and paste it into a blank file in another program such as Word or Notepad. To do so, highlight the desired text, copy it using the command under the "Edit" menu or shortcut keys, and then paste it into the other program file. You can then print from that program. This method comes in handy when you only need to print portions of Web pages. With this option you can pick and choose what you need, paste those pieces together in a new file, reformat as needed, and then print out your critical text.

Other Printed Academic Documents

Supplementary materials are available on request as follows: the School of Medicine bulletin may be obtained by writing to the medical school; the School of Law bulletin may be obtained by writing to the School of Law. These offices are at the University of South Carolina, Columbia, SC 29208.

Final authority for all aspects of content rests with the Office of the Provost. All material submitted for publication in the undergraduate bulletin must be cleared through the academic editor, Donald J. Greiner, associate provost and dean of undergraduate affairs. For the graduate bulletin, clearance must be obtained through Gordon B. Smith, dean of The Graduate School.
