Undergraduate Curriculum Changes

MTSU uses the curriculum management system Curriculog. Curriculog allows for the completion and submission of all curriculum proposals, the development of curriculum meeting agendas, and the review and approval of the curriculum committees and administrators. Classes on using Curriculog are offered periodically throughout the fall semester; classes are offered as needed during the spring semester.

MTSU faculty and staff log in by using FSA user name with @mtsu.edu (jdoe@mtsu.edu) and FSA password. For assistance with Curriculog or proposals, please contact Mitzi Brandon or Paula Calahan.
