  1. Course, Curriculum and Catalog Management: Department Chair Update, April 2, 2015

  2. 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. • Catalog (via Acalog): June 1, 2015 • Curriculog: August 15, 2015

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. Graduation Initiative • Guiding Principles: • Guide students into the right major early • Avoid late attrition from majors • Monitor student progress toward timely degree completion • Mitigate unnecessary barriers to student persistence and graduation • Enable greater student self-guidance and accountability • Ensure faculty oversight of curriculum

  6. Consultation and Support • Academic Advisory Team • Colleges • Faculty Representatives • Associate Deans • Faculty Council • Undergraduate Course & Curriculum • Graduate Council • Office of the Registrar

  7. Project Timeline • June 1: New Catalog • Increased mobile capabilities • Improved search functionality • Standardization and clarity of layout • August 15: Curriculog • Campus-wide training via Center for Teaching and Learning • Short Forms and Long Forms phased out during Fall Term
