Curriculum Management

Curriculog is a web-based proposal management system that integrates with the catalog system. It automates the process of creating and changing courses and programs. To access CCU's Curriculog system, click here.   

Listed below are training materials to help you navigate the system and curriculum process. Please check back frequently as new training videos, documents, and links to register for live training sessions will be added as we transition to this new system. 

If you have course or program proposals that you need assistance with, please contact the system administrator, Christina Genovevo at 843-349-2090.

Curriculum Management FAQ 

1. When I start a course or program change proposal, why do the Approval Steps on the right side of the screen have errors and not show participants?
   
   This is due to the Hierarchy Owner not being correct. Some courses and programs were originally created under the University and need to be updated to show the proper department. To fix, remove the incorrect hierarchy name (clicking on the x) then select the correct department name from the list provided. Once you have selected the correct department, click save on the bottom and the Approval Steps will be updated.
    

2. Who do I contact if I cannot find the prefix or course type for the course proposal I am working on?
   Please contact the Curriculum Management Coordinator in the Office of the Provost for assistance at x2090 or you can create a help ticket my emailing curriculummgmt@coastal.edu. 

3. What is the difference between a pre-requisite or course restriction?
   A pre-requisite is normally something that must be completed by the student before registering for a class. This could be a class, multiple classes, a combination of classes along with completing (or being in the process) of completing a certain number of hours.
   A course restriction restricts registration into a course to a certain population of students. If the ONLY way for a student to register for a course is by being in a particular major/program, having instructor consent, and/or being in a particular group, this would be considered a course restriction.
   Please Note: If the student must complete a course(s) OR have instructor consent, that would be considered a pre-requisite. If instructor consent is the ONLY way a student can register, that would be a restriction.

4. What is the difference of a course equivalency and a crosslisting?
   A course equivalency means two or more courses can be counted as the same thing and fulfill the same requirement. Both courses should indicate what the equivalent is in the catalog as seen below:
   
   A crosslisting is something that occurs at the section level and not needed when creating the course through the curriculum system. Crosslisting means two separate course section being taught at the same time, same place, and by the same instructor. This is determined when creating schedules for each semester and must be communicated with the Office of the Registrar so the sections can be crosslisted in the system.
   Please Note: The word crosslisting in the Curriculog system means something different than either of the above explanations. It is a process that when creating multiple proposals that need to go up at the same time. Currently this function is NOT being used. 

5. Why was my proposal from last year deleted if it was not yet complete?
   The curriculum proposals run on a yearly academic cycle. Since the Curriculog program pulls information from the current draft catalog, once the new cycle begins and a new draft catalog is created, the old proposals are out of date. If the proposal does not meet the required deadlines, the system administrator may delete it, and you will need to reenter the proposal once the new cycle proposal forms are available. 

6. I launched my proposal, but the department chair still has not seen it. Where is my proposal?
   In Curriculog there is a two-step process to move the initial proposal to the next level for approval. You as the initiator must first save and launch the proposal, then you MUST approve as the originator. You will see your launched proposals need your approval as the originator under the My Tasks tab as seen below. You will need to select all that apply then click Approve.
   
   If you need to modify the proposal before approving, simply click on the proposal name to open it and make any needed changes. Then click on the Decisions tab on the right side of the screen to make your decision. If you al also the department chair, please note you will need to sign off as the department chair as well.
