Annual Course Catalog Review & Update

Each spring and summer all course offerings at Stanford University must be reviewed by departments and programs to ensure the PeopleSoft Course Catalog is accurate and prepared to load the following year's class offerings.  Most processes for current course offerings are executed directly in CPS CLSS by Department Course Administrators. See the Curriculum Managment Workshop powerpoint below for details.
