This page provides faculty with links to detailed instructions on how to navigate the Coursedog curriculum and catalog management system, where you can propose and review curricular changes. Details on the content of curricular submissions and supporting information can be found on the Curriculum Committee's page here.

Beginning in Fall, 2025, we will submit, track, and publish curricular changes, and present our online, through this platform. The new platform unifies proposal approvals, real鈥憈ime data syncing with PeopleSoft, and student鈥慺acing course information into a transparent system that shortens administrative cycles and gives students up鈥憈o鈥慸ate, searchable curriculum details. Details on navigating the public website can be found .
