The walkthrough explains what information belongs in each section of CIM, identifies fields completed by faculty versus administrative reviewers, and provides guidance for areas such as units and hours, requisites, SLOs, course content, articulation, General Education, Distance Education, CTE, and supporting documentation.

Program Proposal Walkthrough

Open the Program Proposal Walkthrough

The Program Proposal Walkthrough provides guidance for developing and reviewing degrees and certificates in CIM. Use this guide when you are:

The walkthrough explains the information required throughout the program proposal and provides guidance for program requirements, PSLOs, educational need, feasibility, CTE requirements, transfer considerations, supporting documentation, curricular impact, and teach-out planning.

Before You Submit

CIM allows you to save your work and return to the proposal before submission. Faculty are encouraged to collaborate with their Department Head, department faculty, School Dean, and other affected areas while developing the proposal.

Once you select Submit, CIM generates the applicable curriculum workflow and begins the formal review and approval process.
