The Curriculum Approval and Tracking (CAT) is now being used for course approvals and revisions that have an Effective Year Term of Fall 2019 and later. The CCLP will continue to be used; however, course approval forms and revision forms should not be generated from the CCLP for those new courses and course revisions with an Effective Year Term of Fall 2019 and later. For information on the interaction between CCLP and the new system Curriculum Approval and Tracking (CAT), see the document CCLP/Curriculum Approval and Tracking (CAT) Interaction.
