Curriculum Tracking System: CIM
Welcome! This is a resource page for curriculum tracking at The University of Toledo.
Timeline Considerations
- Course and program proposals, both new proposals and modifications, will be for the following academic year, and will need full faculty governance approvals before updates will be reflected in the catalog aligned with the effective term. Each college has a specific workflow process, and approvals are made by the department curriculum committee, the department chair or program director, the college curriculum committee, the college dean, the Faculty Senate or Graduate Council, the College of Graduate Studies (if applicable), the Office of the Provost and final step is the Office of the Registrar.
Curriculum Deadlines
- All curriculum changes must be fully approved through Faculty Senate and Graduate Council before February 28th in order to have course modification with an effective fall term for the upcoming school year and published in the 2024 - 2025 catalog. Otherwise, programs will have to wait until the following year to get these changes on the schedule.
- Course that are approved after registration is opened will be assigned an effective
term for the spring semester. Please plan accordingly.
- Any changes to admissions requirements must be submitted as a program modification in the CIM system.
