Curriculog Approval Processes

Beginning in April 2021, UMass Lowell (UML) began transitioning to the use of Curriculog forms for our curriculum change approval processes. We are no longer using the PDF forms for the processes listed below.

As each new Curriculog approval process form is rolled out, the PDF form will be removed from the Registrar’s Office forms page and replaced with a link to redirect users to Curriculog.

The following Approval Process (AP) forms are available in Curriculog:
