Kuali

Open the dashboard and get to work—Kuali is built around the tasks campus teams do every day. For curriculum changes, start by selecting a program or course and launch a proposal. Add outcomes, map them to assessments, and attach supporting documents. Kuali routes the request to department, college, and governance reviewers automatically, shows prerequisite and dependency impacts, and warns you when a change might strand students. Use side‑by‑side version comparisons to see exactly what’s new, preview the student view before anything goes live, and schedule the effective term so advisors and audit tools have the right rules at the right time.

When it’s time to build the academic catalog, content editors pull in approved course and program data rather than retyping it. Create pages with reusable templates, apply style guides, and lock sections to prevent off‑cycle edits. Real‑time validation catches broken links, outdated policies, and missing fields. Roll last year’s catalog forward, set publish dates, and push simultaneously to a responsive website and a print‑ready PDF. Integrate with your SIS to keep titles, credits, and requisites in sync; use redirects so retired pages don’t confuse searchers; and rely on change history to answer who changed what and when.

Research offices and principal investigators manage the full lifecycle in one place. Build a proposal with a budget that calculates fringe and F&A, attach biosketches, and route for chair and dean sign‑off. Automated checks flag export control concerns and prompt conflict‑of‑interest or commitment disclosures. Submit and track IACUC and biosafety protocols using guided forms and standard templates, then link approved protocols to active awards. After funding arrives, set up accounts, monitor burn rates, record effort certifications, and receive alerts for reporting deadlines and closeout tasks. Dashboards keep workload and risk visible across units, and integrations feed sponsor, HR, and finance systems without duplicate entry.

IT and security teams configure the foundation once and let units self‑serve. Single sign‑on ties into campus identity, roles limit what each user can see or edit, and encryption protects data in transit and at rest. Use REST APIs, webhooks, and flat‑file imports to connect the student system, LMS, website, and data warehouse. Turn on audit logs and export reports for accreditation and compliance. A practical rollout plan: pilot with one college, migrate legacy catalog content, train editors and reviewers, measure time‑to‑approval and publication accuracy, then expand to additional schools. Ongoing analytics help reduce approval bottlenecks, cut catalog errors, and make degree paths clearer so students finish on time.
