CourseLeaf

Vision

• The CourseLeaf Project's strategic vision is as follows:

  • Support the institution's administration of current and future academic offerings with transparency and flexibility.

  • Define approaches, resources, tools, and processes to support the management of the entire curriculum process (courses, program requirements, catalog, and assessment).

  • Design and implement an automated curriculum management system used by faculty, staff and academic administrators to support UC San Diego's mission to be a student-centered university.

• Additionally, the CourseLeaf Project also supports the overall vision of the SIS Project portfolio. View the SIS Project Vision.
