Post-implementation updates:Curriculog and System-Enforced Prerequisites Office of the Registrar April 22, 2019
Curriculog Charge: Implement a more robust and transparent curriculum workflow management tool, capable of integrating with the academic catalog and other university system(s).
Goals • Create better workflow transparency (track the steps of review and approval that occur between Faculty Senate approval and proposal completion). • Reduce duplication of managing curriculum in the academic catalog, student information system, and department/college webpages. • Collect information required by accrediting bodies.
Progress • Forms went live for the Fall 2017 semester • Completed proposals to date: • 663 course proposals • 90 program proposals • 28 GPS (graduation planning strategy) proposals • Integration with the catalog occurred for the first time for the publication of the 2018-2019 academic catalog • Catalog updates are now connected to curriculum approval
Continuous Improvement • In May 2018, 36 items were identified for ongoing improvements. 7 of these items have been implemented, including: • A software enhancement to display course credit hours in a program proposal • Changes in the approval hierarchy (added separate approvals for GR/UG curriculum approval in the academic units) • Cross-walking more data between catalog database and proposal forms (imports more data) • Streamline approval process in the “Budget” step.

Prerequisites (System-Enforced) Charge: Implement system-enforced prerequisite checking; maintain the option of department-managed prerequisites
Progress • System-enforced prerequisite checking was implemented in October 2018 (for Spring 2019 registration) • Out of 5,633 sections for Spring 2019:
Continuous Improvement • Leveraging data to improve prerequisite functionality. Example: • RSCOB – implemented mechanism to track fulfillment of MBA 5000-level requirements • Adding alternate/equivalent courses in prerequisite listing (i.e. MS 2040 OR STT 1600 OR STT 2640).
Continuous Improvement • Prerequisite overrides: • Advisors: for students transferring credit that has already been evaluated from another institution • Departments: evaluating new courses from another institution, other student requests for prerequisite overrides • Same term prerequisites, ex. A-term class required for B-term within same semester, can allow prerequisite with concurrency
Work still to be done… • Refine prerequisites that have a minimum level math class or math placement to recognize Math XXXX “or higher”. • Evaluate how expired math placement scores are impacting student registration • Evaluate the life cycle of a non-degree student – does it make sense to post transfer credit for these student or refer them for a one-time registration override? • Work with policy committees to evaluate cost/benefit of implementing an auto-drop process for in-progress prerequisites • Prerequisite information for faculty/staff
