To get to the CurricUNET program, you need to enter the web address
http://www.curricunet.com/msjc into your web browser. Firefox or Chrome
typically works better than Internet Explorer.

your login or password, please contact the curriculum email
(curriculum@msjc.edu) and these will be given to you. Please allow 48-72
hours for a response, excluding holidays and weekends. Once logged in, you
can change your login or password. If you ever forget your login or
password, contact the curriculum email to retrieve this information. Security
While anyone can view course outlines, only those trained in CurricUNET
have access to make course revisions and to approve curriculum, depending
on the roles they are assigned to once trained and authorized. Each
authorized user is assigned a user name and password. Your user name and
password identify you to the CurricUNET system. Only the originator and
other authorized users have the ability to view and edit a course proposal
in the pre-launch state.
Functions are also assigned to each user. The function allows the user to
approve course proposals at a given time. See approvals. Search
The search area is broken into two catagories: Course and Awards.
You can search each of these categories by clicking on the text link found
in the Search section of the main menu.

Approvals
Overview
You can revise a course at any time, but the course does not become part of
the curriculum approval process until you "launch" (submit) it. Once the
course has been launched, you can no longer edit or delete the course until
it is returned to you for requested changes.
You will not be allowed to launch the course until all course entry screens
have been marked complete. By launching, you send the created course into
the approval process. Please note that launching the course does not mean
you are finished; in fact, it is only the beginning of the process to
approve the changes you have made to the curriculum. There will be several
individuals reviewing, approving, suggesting changes to and possibly
disapproving your course.
