Course Inventory Management (CIM)
All existing and in progress course proposals can be viewed through CourseLeaf’s Course Inventory Management (CIM) system. All course actions must be initiated and processed using CIM. CIM allows you to enter your course change information online, attach documents, and track your electronic submission as it makes its way through the approval process. CIM access requires logging in with your NC State unity ID and password.
You can access the Course Inventory Management system by clicking the first button above, or through the following link: https://next-catalog.ncsu.edu/courseadmin/.
