The graduate council adopted the use of the online curriculum proposal system, CurriculogTM developed by Digital Architecture (DIGARC). The proposal system allows for programs or courses to be added, deleted, or modified. Faculty members can access Curriculog through the following link: https://tnstate.curriculog.com. Questions concerning log in credentials should be directed to Kimi Bonner.
