Dear Faculty, Administrators and Staff,

I am happy to announce phase two of the CourseLeaf Catalogue Implementation Process. As a reminder, CourseLeaf catalogue is a comprehensive Catalogue Management System that is designed to assist schools and colleges with maintaining their curriculum requirements and policies in an interactive format. You can find the newest version of our catalogue here.

The second phase of CourseLeaf implementation will focus on the curriculum management process. The CourseLeaf Curriculum (CIM) module is a course inventory and curriculum management platform, with customized online forms and automated workflows, designed to ensure accuracy across an institution’s courses and programs. CIM will provide a new, efficient and paperless way to create, submit, review and approve curriculum proposals. With CIM, faculty and staff can easily view and manage courses and programs throughout their lifecycle.

Some of the benefits of using CIM:

While getting CourseLeaf up and running is a lot of work, when completed, we will enjoy an easy-to-update, consistent catalogue that is integrated with Banner and readily searchable online. We appreciate your assistance learning the system.

Sincerely,

Katia
