2022-23 Academic Catalog

The college published its first catalog in 1872—Katalog for det norske Luther - college i Decorah, Iowa, 1861-1872. It was prepared by [President Laur.] Larsen and ran to 48 pages. It contained a list of officials and faculty members, a history of the college, an outline and a defense of the plan and courses of instruction, a section on discipline and school regulations, and a detailed listing of students at the college from the time of its founding. Larsen's precise scholarship is apparent on every page. Not until 1883 was a second catalog published, this time in English.

As a part of the Luther community and as an extension of the Office of the Provost, we are responsible for:

carrying out the college policies concerning academic standards and requirements
evaluation of transfer credits
student registration
class scheduling
preparing and maintaining the academic record of each student enrolled at Luther College
providing students with services that support the academic and residential life of each student

Our services are based on the following principles: respect, confidentiality, collaboration, support, and accountability. Although our primary constituency consists of students currently pursuing a degree from Luther, we provide outreach services to prospective and former students and graduates of the college.
