ACADEMIC CATALOG MANAGEMENT

Turn approved curriculum into information students can trust.

Publish an accurate, easy-to-navigate academic catalog connected to your curriculum—so students, faculty, and advisors can find the information they need without your team maintaining it twice.

KEY FEATURES

Keep your catalog accurate without all the manual work.

Your academic catalog is one of the most important sources of information your institution publishes. But keeping courses, programs, requirements, policies, and pages accurate can turn every publishing cycle into a major coordination effort. Kuali unifies the information behind your catalog with the tools to organize, manage, and publish it—helping teams reduce duplicate work while giving students a clearer way to find what they need.

CONNECTED ACADEMIC OPERATIONS

Keep academic information aligned beyond the catalog.

Catalog is one part of a larger academic-content lifecycle. Kuali connects the work surrounding curriculum, catalog, and syllabus management so approved academic information can stay aligned as it moves from institutional governance to the information faculty and students rely on.

PLATFORM EXTENSIBILITY

And automate the work around it.

Catalog production comes with its own requests, exceptions, approvals, and institution-specific processes.

Because Kuali Catalog runs on the same Kuali platform, academic operations teams can also use AI and no-code tools to build and adapt forms, workflows, and approval processes for the work surrounding the catalog—without adding another point solution.

The same embedded AI can help teams create or change workflows through natural-language prompts, refine content, surface bottlenecks, and understand what needs attention. Automate more of academic operations on the same platform your team already uses.
