This website provides policy information, guidelines, and recommended practices for Guide Editors, Lumen Program Approvers, and College Reviewers of Letters & Science undergraduate academic programs.
Guide combines two kinds of content: governed content that has formal levels of approval (like a major’s official requirements) and nongoverned content (like the description of the major). This site provides a page of information for each section, found through the menus above or linked in the table below.
Governed content is edited through Lumen Proposals (my.wisc.edu/Lumen).
Nongoverned content is edited through next-guide.wisc.edu.
