There may be more than one bulletin available from the Dominican University system e-catalog Gateway at a time. If there is more than one, you will see a dropdown box toward the top of the page with the name of the current bulletin. Clicking the dropdown box provides access to other available bulletins. Selecting an alternate bulletin will load it into the Gateway. If you do not see the dropdown box, then only a single bulletin is currently published.

You may add information from any of the available bulletins to your own personal My Bulletin. See below to learn more about Using the My Bulletin Feature.

The Bulletin Search (shown at the top of the navigation) allows quick retrieval of bulletin content that matches your interests.

To use the Bulletin Search, simply enter a search keyword or phrase and press ENTER. The search will find any matching content in the bulletin including courses, programs, school/colleges, departments or other narrative content.

Search options are available by clicking on the Advanced Search link below the regular search form or by clicking the Modify Search Options link after performing a search. The search options offer more precise searching of the bulletin content.

To limit your search to only specific types of bulletin content, check only the checkboxes for content categories you wish to include in your search.

Check the "Whole Word/Phrase" check box to search for an exact match for a keyword or phrase. For instance, entering "bio" will only return hits in which the term "bio" stands alone; it will not return any instances of the term "biology". The same is true if you enter a phrase.

Click "Show Prefix List" to display a list of all course prefixes available in the bulletin. You may enter a keyword phrase that includes a course prefix and code (like "ENG 101") to better locate a specific course. The closest available matches will be returned first.

Click the Search button to perform the search.

Overview

You may easily browse through the bulletins by using the different navigation links on the left side of the page. Each bulletin may have its own distinct set of navigation links.

Some links may display pages about the bulletin or other related information. Other links may display listings of courses or programs within the bulletin. These navigation links may display other information that is broken down by various methods such as by school/colleges, by departments, or by program, or course types.

Some pages may show "Go to Information..." links following a school/college or department which, when clicked, will display more information about that school/college or department.

Course and program titles are almost always shown as links. Clicking on a course title will display course information below the course title about the course and a link to Add to My Bulletin (course information may be shown in a pop up window if you have an older browser). Clicking on a program title will display all the related information for the program as well as the Add program to My Bulletin link.

Clicking on the Add to My Bulletin link will add information to your My Bulletin for later retrieval. See below to learn more about Using the My Bulletin Feature.

FlashPoint™ Links

Some school/colleges, departments, programs, and courses may have FlashPoint Links associated with them that may be a text link or a click-able graphic. These FlashPoint Links are links to an additional digital resource. The digital resource may be another web page, a text document, audio, video, or many other types of media and may require a special browser plug-in.

To view a FlashPoint Link, simply click on it. All FlashPoint Links will be displayed in a new pop up window.

To print a page click the print link. The "Print Friendly" version will open up with just the content of the page in it (no navigation or header). If you click the print link on a "Print Friendly" page the browser will popup with the print dialog allowing you to print that page.

Problems with Gateway Print Links

If your browser does not support the print link you may need to use the operating system or web browser's built in print functions instead.

You may add items to your own personal My Bulletin as you browse through the online bulletins. The My Bulletin feature will retain a list of courses, programs, pages, divisions and saved searches that you have found interesting and wish to save for future visits to the online Dominican University bulletins.

To add items click the Add to My Bulletin link or star icon next to the item in which you are interested.  This will open a new popup window that displays all items currently in your My Bulletin.

You may remove items from your My Bulletin by selecting the checkboxes next to them and clicking the Remove button.

Note: Items suffixed with the text [From Previous Bulletin] are from older, outdated bulletins that are no longer available. You will need to search within newer bulletins to find alternative information to replace them.

The My Bulletin feature is based on an account system. You must sign up in order to permanently store items in the My Bulletin feature.

The My Bulletin feature will store your favorite items using a combination of temporary and permanent storage in a database. This method requires that you register an account and login to permanently save information in the My Bulletin. Items are still stored temporarily in the database until you login to your My Bulletin. Once you login, any temporary information will be saved into your account for permanent storage.

When done, click the Create Account button to create the account.

Note: it is important to use a valid e-mail address in case you ever forget your password.

The account will be created and you will be logged in automatically. Any items you had already added to your My Bulletin will now be stored permanently in your account.

To login to your My Bulletin account, simply choose My Bulletin from the left hand navigation, enter your e-mail address and password and click the Login button.

If you have forgotten your password, just enter your e-mail address and click the Reset Password button. An email will be sent to the email address you used to sign up for your My Bulletin account with a link that will enable you to reset your password.

To logout, simply view your My Bulletin and click the Logout link at top right.
