Announcement
The curriculum management system, META (formerly Curricunet), is now available with an upgraded interface! We are excited for faculty to see the
update with the hope that it is more user-friendly. Please let us know if you need
assistance navigating the system.

Please email the Curriculum Chair or Curriculum Specialist for hands on support in
