What is CCMS?
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.
Project 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 and chose the name Curriculum and Course Management System (CCMS) to build on the original Berkeley CMS name. The primary implementation when live in Summer 2025, encompassing an all-new Catalog, Course Management for all courses, and Program Management for undergraduate programs. The final implementation, which brings Graduate Program Management into CCMS, is planned for Summer 2027.
Managed by the Office of the Registrar, CCMS serves as a vital link between colleges, the Senate, colleagues, students, and key downstream partners—ensuring timely and accurate delivery of critical information. In short, we aim to provide the right message, to the right audience, at the right time.
