New Curriculum Management System Now Available at UK

LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 15, 2016) — The University of Kentucky is pleased to announce the launch of a new online curriculum management system. The transition to replace eCATS with Curriculog™ as UK’s course proposal system will begin today, Aug. 15. New submissions will no longer be accepted in eCATS after Oct. 3, 2016.

Curriculog was selected for the following reasons:

• Ease of use• High configurability• Process transparency• Mobile device compatibility• Committee agendas• User-specific dashboards• Reporting capabilities• Error handling• Cloud hosting and reliability

Changes to curriculum will be proposed using standard forms, evaluated using procedures consistent with University Senate rules, and monitored and reported on by requesters, councils and administrators. Curriculog will allow UK to maintain consistency among course proposals, systems of record and published bulletins.

Course proposals must be approved at the director/chair, college, undergraduate and/or graduate council, and university senate level before they can be implemented. Some proposals also require UK Core Committee, and/or Health Care Colleges Council approval, which are included in the workflow as appropriate.

Users must log in with their same Link Blue ID and password used when connecting to many campuswide systems.
