Graduation Fees Eliminated Beginning Fall 2026
Beginning in Fall 2026, the University of Arizona will eliminate graduation application and degree candidacy fees for all students.
Removing these fees is part of the university's ongoing commitment to student success and degree completion. By eliminating this cost, the university is helping ensure that every student can take the final steps toward graduation with fewer financial barriers. University systems, communications, and websites are being updated to reflect the new process and remove fee-related requirements.

Information and resources about wait lists are available for students, staff, department enrollers, and department schedulers. Guidance is tailored to each audience and includes information on wait list processes, enrollment responsibilities, and best practices for supporting enrollment in full classes.

2026-2027 University of Arizona Catalog is Now Available
The 2026-2027 University of Arizona Catalog is now available. The catalog contains a comprehensive listing of academic policies, program descriptions and degree requirements, and a full inventory of courses for the 2026-2027 catalog year. These features, plus academic calendars, archived catalogs, and all other standard features in one unified location, give the campus community one place to access the information.
Please review and update any bookmarks to policies you may have saved on your browser or in documentation for your students, as several academic policies have been consolidated and/or renamed this year.
Please send feedback or questions about the University Catalog to catalog@arizona.edu.

Updates to the Undergraduate Course Syllabus Policy
In Spring 2026, updates were made to undergraduate course syllabus expectations to improve clarity and consistency across courses. The updates require distribution or posting of syllabi on the first day of class and organize required syllabus elements into clearer categories. Additional updates include guidance for individualized learning experiences and relocation of the policies to the University Catalog for improved access and alignment with academic policies.
