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 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 Maintain accurate account of all course offerings and degree programs 2. Integrate course, degree, and catalog information with Banner and degree audit systems to ensure accuracy 3. Allow faculty, departments, colleges, and staff to access, edit, and propose changes to the curriculum and catalog in a web-based approval system 4. Provide a real-time account of where proposals are in the process and what steps remain 1. 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 selfguidance and accountability Ensure faculty oversight of curriculum Academic Advisory Team Colleges ▪ Faculty Representatives ▪ Associate Deans Faculty Council ▪ Undergraduate Course & Curriculum ▪ Graduate Council Office of the Registrar 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 Acalog and Curriculog Implementation Site: http://facultygovernance.uncc.edu/acalog-curriculog Guiding Principles Team Members Timeline Presentations, handouts, announcements Training Resources Leslie R.
