Is the institution's default not to print course catalogs, course schedules, and directories, but instead make these materials available online?:
A brief description of the practice:
Wesleyan no longer prints any campus directories for distribution. Admission prints and keeps one student directory in its lobby.
Course catalogs are still printed, though printing has decreased significantly through reduction of the number of pages in the catalogs and through significantly decreased printing of catalogs. Catalogs were previously printed for all students; they are now only printed for faculty members, academic administrative assistants, for on-hand copies with the Registrar, and to give to visitors in the Admissions Office. The registrar has made WesMaps, Wesleyan's course catalog, available online for several years. Admission references WesMaps to anyone who may ask for an electronic version, but notes that parents tend to prefer a hard copy. Admission does not mail any course catalogs.
Printing of course schedules is at the discretion of professors. Admission keeps copies of course schedules in its lobby for students who plan to visit a class.
