Catalog & Curriculum
The Office of Academic Programs publishes the General Catalog and maintains technical course data and attributes in PeopleSoft.
Curriculum forms for proposing new courses, changing existing courses, offering special topics courses, obtaining General Education certification or Diversity & Equity certification for courses, proposing new programs, and making changes to existing programs are available through Curriculog, CSUSM’s online curriculum management system.
Additional records documenting the status of these proposals in the University-level curriculum review and approval process are available on the Academic Programs web site.
The Office of Academic Programs works closely with five Academic Senate committees: Academic Policy Committee, General Education Committee, Diversity and Equity Curriculum Committee, Program Assessment Committee, and University Curriculum Committee.
