Campus-Level Curriculum-Related Resources
Until the new curriculum system is officially launched, Kuali (KSCM) is the current way to submit course-level curriculum updates.
Before you submit your course for a 5-year update, be sure to submit an official DA (Diversification Arts) renewal request via this Google form.
For the latest on the curriculum process, along with helpful videos, check out this web page for help with navigating the curriculum proposal and renewal processes. I believe through here I found an old KSCM "Cheat Sheet" that I found useful.
