This presentation provides an overview of the Statewide Curriculum Network, an automated system for curriculum reporting that streamlines the process for all colleges. It includes standardized electronic forms, reports, workflows, and notifications, resulting in a searchable database of approved course outlines and programs. The project background, MIS coordination, and benefits to the college and System Office are discussed, along with the prototype development and upcoming beta testing. Join us for a presentation at the Curriculum Institute in July and find out more about the system rollout in September.
