Course, Curriculum and Catalog Management
Update

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
• Integrate course, degree, and catalog information
  with Banner and degree audit systems to ensure
  accuracy
• Allow faculty, departments, colleges, and staff
  to access, edit, and propose changes to the
  curriculum and catalog in a web-based approval
  system
• Provide a real-time account of where proposals
  are in the process and what steps remain
