Use Curriculog for Academic Processes
Curriculog is a software tool designed to modernize and streamline academic requirement and policy activity. Curriculog was implemented at UMass Lowell through a collaboration between Faculty Senate, the Registrar’s Office, Academic Affairs, and Information Technology.
Use Curriculog to request approval for changes to the curriculum.
Approval Processes (Curriculog forms) are available each academic year on August 1 to request new or change existing courses, programs, and academic policies for the following academic year. Curriculog facilitates campus-wide transparency, consistency, and alignment starting with the intentions of the department, through the relevant academic governance, and on to implementation at the campus-level, as well as reporting out to the state. Departments are encouraged to submit proposals early in the academic year to allow sufficient time for the required review and approval to implement changes to the next academic year's fall catalog.
On this page, you will find links to important Curriculog notices, the current Approval Processes (Curriculog forms) available, and other information to help you get started; please visit our Curriculog Help page for job aids to assist you in your use of the software.
Curriculog Announcements and Updates
Important announcements such as proposal deadlines and dates for summer maintenance, as well as updates such as changes made to forms or workflow are available on the Curriculog Announcements and Updates page.
