Is the institution's default not to print course catalogs, course schedules, and directories, but instead make these materials available online?:
Yes
None
A brief description of the practice:
Santa Clara will continue to reduce its paper usage by cutting out all printed course catalogs starting this winter. Instead, students will be referred to the current course availability web site, where they can browse all offered classes and even search for ones that fulfill a specific requirement. The switch to paperless catalogs complements the transition to online course evaluations, made last spring. Students responded to the survey-style evaluations at a rate comparable to paper evaluations, and in excess of similar programs at other universities. The move to paperless programs across campus will save the university from purchasing (literally) tons of paper products every year.
The faculty and staff directory is online.

Although the faculty and staff directory is online, employees are still given a printed booklet in the fall of each year. There has been an option to opt out of receiving this printed directly for three years.
