CourseLeaf CIM

Curriculum items are managed through the CourseLeaf Curriculum Inventory Management (CIM) system. The curriculum system is accessed online and utilizes an automated workflow for approval. All curriculum changes must be completed per the curriculum cycle and timeline. This process does not include any necessary external approvals.

The CIM system is separated into four categories:

  • Course Management is used for editing, adding, and deactivating courses;
  • Program Management is used for editing, adding, and deactivating programs;
  • Miscellaneous Request Management is used for mass curriculum changes, catalog/curriculum related process approvals, create/modify academic administrative units, etc.;
  • Approve Items Panel is used to approve or review curriculum items submitted for the approval process.

Each item is initiated within an academic department and is routed through the appropriate curriculum committees for approval. Items for consideration are routed through the academic departments, colleges, administration, necessary sub-committees (e.g. Writing Intensive, General Education, Educator Preparation), University Curriculum Committee (if undergraduate), Graduate Council (if graduate), and the Academic Council, as appropriate to the item. Items are considered at each step of workflow and may be rejected, edited, or approved as necessary.

Curriculum Timeline

The curriculum timeline for the current year is posted on the Curriculum and Catalog page and includes the following documents for the current academic year:

  • Curriculum Quick Facts
  • Curriculum Committee Calendar

For items to be considered by the Academic Curriculum Review Committee (ACRC), they must be approved by their College Curriculum Committee by the last Wednesday of the month. Departments and colleges should set their meeting schedules accordingly.
