Course Curriculum and Catalog Management Update Graduate Program

Course, Curriculum and Catalog Management: Update Graduate Program Directors

Overview UNC Charlotte will soon offer Acalog/Curriculog as an electronic academic program and course approval system for creating, modifying, and accessing degree programs, individual courses, and catalog information. This system is being implemented during the 2014 -2015 academic year for launch in Fall 2015.

Why is this necessary? We have well-meaning processes and systems for managing our curriculum – the efficiency and utility of which have been lessened as we have grown and become more complex: Inaccurate and inconsistent quality of information Delays and inefficiencies Duplication of effort Paper-intensive Lack of synthetized information Lack of historical record and accountability No reporting or data analysis capabilities

Objectives Maintain accurate account of all course offerings and degree programs 2. Integrate course, degree, and catalog information with Banner and degree audit systems to ensure accuracy 3. Allow faculty, departments, colleges, and staff to access, edit, and propose changes to the curriculum and catalog in a web-based approval system 4. Provide a real-time account of where proposals are in the process and what steps remain 1.
