UO uses an online process for managing course and program changes: The Course Inventory Management software, or CIM (pronounced Kim). CIM is a course inventory and curriculum management platform, with customized online forms and automated workflows, designed to ensure accuracy across our institution’s courses and programs. We use CourseLeaf for both proposing or editing course or program proposals.
By using CIM, which directly feeds into the catalog, approved course or program changes are automatically reflected in the next edition of the UO catalog.

Program Management
The Office of the Provost is responsible for coordination and support of academic programming, including the management of procedures for new programs and modifications to curriculum. All proposals for new academic programs and requests for curricular change are subject to review.
In general, there are five potential stages of review: college-level, external review, university-level, Board of Trustees and state-level, regional accreditor (NWCCU). The nature of the proposal will determine which stages of review are required.
To propose a new academic program or to edit an existing program, please log into the Program Management Software with your Duck ID. If you need access, please email your request.
