UNC Charlotte will soon offer
Acalog/Curriculog as an electronic
academic program and course approval

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
