 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 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
