CourseLeaf CIM - Program Management

Access the CIM program proposal form. In the CIM section, click on CIM Program Administration. It is very important to only propose a new program if it is truly new. If editing a current program, see CourseLeaf - CIM - How to Edit a Program in the Program Administration Form.

1. Click on Propose New Program
   
2. Fill out all fields in red. Choose the effective catalog. Program changes may only be proposed for Fall. Choose departments that are related or affected by this new program. To add two or more departments, click on the green plus sign to add a row. To remove a department, click the red circle with the white X. Related departments receive an FYI email after the chair approves, however, check with your CCC to see if additional information or approvals from related departments is required.
3. A program description is not required, but helpful to the Registrar's Office when creating the catalog page. This information can be updated during the catalog editing window. For additional information, contact the Registrar's Office
4. In the program requirements window, double click on the blue box to open the course picking tool. The left of the window are courses that are available and the right are courses that are in the requirements list. For more detailed information on using the course picking tool see CourseLeaf - CIM - Tips for the Course Picking Tool in the Program Administration Form.
    
   IMPORTANT: The course picking tool must be used to build requirements as they will appear in the catalog and how the requirements will be built on the AAR. Including notes referring to an attachment or another document will be returned. It is important that the requirements are clearly stated. If you need any assistance or training (or refresher training) for the use of this tool, please contact the Registrar's Office.
   
5. Select the “Course List” option. Click OK.
   
6. You may want to look at other pages in that catalog for the general formatting for requirement lists. Generally, the list starts with a header called Required Courses.

7. Required Courses should be highlighted in blue (if not, click on it), and check the box on the bottom right called Area Header.
