Modern Campus Curriculum Closed to New Proposals

From January–March 2026, Modern Campus Curriculum (MCC/Curriculog) will be closed to new proposals while the Curriculum Office updates workflows and templates to better support faculty, streamline ICC review, and improve clarity in the shared governance curriculum process. Current-cycle proposals using the 2025 templates will continue moving forward based on their place in the workflow. Faculty working on curriculum during this period are encouraged to contact the Curriculum Office (curriculum@humboldt.edu) for support with offline tasks such as forms, syllabi, curricular decisions, and department or interdepartmental review.
