Submit a Support RequestCatalog Editors and Approvers
Component leadership may appoint one or more editors responsible for updating their respective catalog content areas. Component leadership should submit a support ticket identifying changes to the editor assignments. Once a new catalog editor is provisioned, they must schedule a 1-hr Zoom meeting/training with Scott Martin before their catalog pages will be released to them for edits. Past editors are welcome to sign up for a refresher training.
Current Assigned Catalog Editors & ApproversCL 10 CIM/CAT Dashboard
Our new CL 10 CIM/CAT Dashboard is now fully integrated and online! This Dashboard centralizes all catalog pages editors are responsible for and any course/program proposals you submit under your "Items" tab so that you can easily keep track of them. If you are responsible for reviewing/approving proposals, the dashboard also centralizes all proposals and catalog pages from all roles you are assigned to, which are ready for your approval under your "Workflow" tab.

Catalog Update Help SiteChanges to Course & Degree Plan Information
Changes to Course and Degree Plan information are made through the submission of course and program proposals via the Curriculum Inventory Management (CIM) system. Approved course and program proposal information automatically updates in their respective catalog pages. All curricular proposals must complete their full CIM approval workflow by May 15 for inclusion in the 2026-27 Catalog publication on June 1.
Submit a Course Proposal Submit a Program ProposalUpdates to the Published Catalogs
TWU's catalog is a static document once published. Components may not add, remove, or change the published content. Should published catalog information require an update, a statement noting approved changes to the published content may be added to the top of individual catalog pages. All posted approved updates will include an "Effective (date):" as part of the statement. Only updates related to accreditation, state, federal, or TWU policy requirements are generally approved. Special circumstances may also be considered.
Requesting Updates to General Information in the Current Catalog
Steps:
- Discuss the need for the general information page update with
- Owners and approvers of the catalog page. This can be found by logging into the Catalog Draft, locating the page, and clicking on the Edit Page icon. A tan bar will open at the bottom, noting the page owner's "roles". You can find the assigned individuals to roles in the Roles spreadsheet.
- Dean or VP of the component,
- Dean of the Graduate School for graduate content, and
- Dean of Undergraduate Studies for undergraduate content.
- Have the Page Owners submit a Curricular Support Request Ticket to include:
- The catalog page title and URL that needs to be updated.
- A strong rationale for the requested update that includes the required reasoning and how the negative impact on students who were unaware of this requirement will be mitigated.
