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.
This system is being implemented during the 2014-2015 academic year.
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
