What is Curriculog?

Curriculog is UMass Lowell’s online system for submitting, reviewing, and approving proposals related to academic courses, programs, and policies.

Curriculog supports the curriculum approval process by providing a consistent, transparent workflow for proposals as they move from departments through the appropriate academic governance and administrative approvals. The system is administered through a collaboration among Faculty Senate, the Registrar’s Office, Academic Affairs, and Information Technology.

Planning a Curriculum Proposal?

Before starting a proposal in Curriculog, visit Faculty Senate Curriculum Management for guidance on curriculum requirements, approval processes, deadlines, and implementation timelines.

Curriculum Management provides information and resources for:

  • Courses – creating, changing, or inactivating courses and requesting course attributes or designations
  • Academic Programs – creating or changing majors, minors, certificates, concentrations, and other academic program requirements
  • Academic Policies – creating or changing department-, college-, and university-level academic policies

Once you have determined the appropriate curriculum process, return to Curriculog to select the corresponding Approval Process (form) and begin your proposal.

Curriculog Approval Processes

In Curriculog, an Approval Process (AP) is the form and associated workflow used to submit a particular type of proposal.

Approval Processes are available for course, program, policy, and other academic requests. Available APs may change from year to year as forms and workflows are updated.

Visit Curriculog Approval Processes to view the Approval Processes currently available in the system.

Curriculog Academic Year Cycles

Each academic year, updated Curriculog forms will go live on August 1 and will close on March 1, to coincide with the Faculty Senate committee and general meeting schedules, as well as meetings of the UMass President's Office (UMPO) and the Department of Higher Education (DHE).

Proposals submitted during the current academic year will inform changes to the academic catalog for the next academic year.

Each summer, the Curriculog forms will be updated for the next academic year. The system continues to be available for the review of existing proposals — both historical and in process.

If you have any suggestions for improvements to our existing forms or ideas for new processes, please feel free to send them by email to: curriculog@uml.edu.
