Curriculum Information Management (CIM) system

CourseLeaf Academic Software is a curriculum management system with online forms and automated electronic workflows that enable the college to track curriculum efficiently and accurately, promoting consistency across all campuses. Georgian has purchased two modules from CourseLeaf: the Curriculum Information Management system (CIM), where programs and courses are created, revised, and submitted for approval, and the Catalogue (CAT), where the Program Outlines and Academic Regulations are housed.

In addition to course and program information, CIM houses other curriculum reporting tools, such as curriculum mapping, and supporting documentation for new program proposals, program renewals and Ministry funding applications. Ultimately, CIM aids the college in providing accountability and transparency in the development and approval of curriculum, both internally and externally.
