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:
Two departments share responsibility for the publication of these materials. The Office of the University Registrar is responsible for course catalogs and course schedules. The Office of the University Registrar’s default is to publish course catalogs and course schedules online for students, faculty and staff. Please see the Office of the University Registrar’s website for more information www.registrar.vt.edu
The Office of University Relations is responsible for publishing University Directories. The University Directory is available online at http://www.directory.unirel.vt.edu/. Additionally, there is a “people search” feature on the Virginia Tech homepage which allows any user to search for specific students, faculty and staff at Virginia Tech. The Office of University Relations limits the quantity of printed directories by restricting them to “by request” only. This practice has eliminated excess printed directories, which were previously recycled after each academic year. Quantities of printed University Directories have decreased over the last three years from 18,000 printed directories during the 2007-08 academic year to 16,000 during 2009-10 and 10,000 during 2010-11.
