Printed Catalogs 'Sold Out'

Posted: 2:56 PM 8/18/2025
We have good news and bad news. The good news is that the response to our fall semester enrollment has been fantastic. The bad news is that we have distributed all of the catalogs printed for this semester. If you have asked to be added to our catalog mailing list but have not received one, we regret to say we cannot send you one for the current fall semester. We will make sure you get one for the spring 2026 semester when it is mailed in December.

In the meanwhile, you can use the resources on the CLL website. Go to the topical index of courses and click on a course name to see all its detail. You can also download an electronic copy of the catalog.
