Locate the course/program in CIM

  1. Navigate to Course Inventory Management in CIM (or Program Management if working on a major, minor or certificate)

  2. Search for the course code (e.g., FAMY 3006) or program title

    1. TIP: search conventions detailed at the top of the page (screenshot below) make for easier navigation if you are uncertain of the full course or program title

Inactivate the course/program

  1. Click red “Inactivate” button.

Steps 2 & 3

  1. A new window will open requesting the term by which this change is effective, alongside a justification for the inactivation. Complete both fields.

    1. Note that the justification will be visible to individuals downstream in the CIM Workflow.

Steps 4 & 5

Start the workflow

  1. Click the green “Start Workflow” button at the bottom right of this window to submit course/program inactivation for approval.

    1. CIM Workflow will include a step for department chair approval before course is officially inactivated.

    2. It is best practice to confirm with the Registrar’s Office the chairpeople for your course or program’s department. This will help ensure a smooth and accurate workflow process.
