Curriculum Resources

Florida State University is pleased to announce the launch of a new and innovative curriculum portal: Coursedog! (https://app.coursedog.com)

This portal serves as a replacement for the previous Curriculum Request Application (CRA). If you currently have a CRA request in your My Curricular Requests of the CRA homepage that are in Pending Form Revision status, you have two options:

1.   You can ensure that revisions are submitted to the UCC level for approval by the November 1, 2024, UCC deadline.

2.   You can resubmit your curriculum proposal in the new system, Coursedog.

We have also created a new Teams/SharePoint platform called the Curriculum Hub. Instructions on how to access the Curriculum Hub can be found under the “More Resources” section of this page.

The Curriculum Hub contains various resources, such as:

• How to request access to the Coursedog Curriculum Application
• How to propose a new course proposal and how to edit an existing course proposal training videos
• Coursedog FAQ’s

The Curriculum Hub will be continuously updated.

You will have the ability to submit proposals in Coursedog once your College has finished testing. For further information or training, please reach out to your College or Department Curriculum Committee.

The Current Colleges that are live in Coursedog are as follows:

• • Applied Studies
  • Arts and Sciences
  • Business
  • Communication and Information
  • Criminology and Criminal Justice
  • Education, Health, and Human Sciences
  • Engineering
  • Entrepreneurship
  • Fine Arts
  • Hospitality
  • Motion Picture Arts
  • Music
  • Nursing
  • Social Sciences and Public Policy
  • Social Work

​​​​​​If your College is not listed above, this means we are doing some final testing. Please keep checking back here and with your college or department for updates.
