The Curriculum Management module in CourseDog is used for proposing new programs and modifying or terminating existing programs. All proposals then go through an approval process, and accepted changes are automatically included in the corresponding academic catalog. Information about modifying non-curriculum pages and other catalog administration is included in the Catalog Management with CourseDog article. 


Instructions for adding new element are included in the Submit a New Program with CourseDog article.
