Academic Programs

Curriculum Proposal Software

In Fall 2019, OSU transitioned to new curriculum proposal software called CIM (pronounced ‘Kim’), which stands for Curriculum Inventory Management.

• CIM for Courses login

  For creating new courses and editing existing courses.

• CIM for Programs login

  For creating new programs (majors/degrees, certificates, options, and minors) and editing existing programs.

• CIM for Miscellaneous Requests login

  For changing academic units and subject codes, submitting the Early Alert, and making other uncommon changes.

How do I learn to use CIM?

CPS Archive

The Curriculum Proposal System (CPS) archive contains program (major, minor, option, certificate) and course proposals submitted between 2001 and November 2020, with the exception of new program proposals submitted before 2010.
