The Curriculum & Course Management System (CCMS) is an integrated platform that combines three systems – curriculum management, course management, and catalog – into one unified and connected space.
Background
Prior to CCMS, the university relied on two homegrown systems: Course Management System (CMS) for course management and the Academic Guide for publishing the catalog. While they were sufficient for many years, they were built at a time when there were few third-party options and integration with other campus systems was not possible.
The 2021 Task Force on First Year Experience recommended a comprehensive curriculum management system, which would replace the two systems and include a third component: program/curriculum management, which has been purely a manual process.
In September 2023, Berkeley purchased the Coursedog platform, with an implementation planned to debut the new system in Summer 2025. The Berkeley implementation of Coursedog was named Curriculum and Course Management System (CCMS) to build on the original CMS name.
Benefits
CCMS will streamline staff processes and allow students to make more informed decisions.
