Page Comparison

CAT—this is the catalog system that generates the “catalog.canisius.edu” site.  The editable catalog can be found at https://courseleaf-next.canisius.edu/. You must have a user account to access this page and need permissions to make edits to content/pages. If you do not have an account or permissions, please contact Academic Affairs at acaf@canisius.edu. Please note, this editable catalog is used when preparing the next academic catalog. Once the catalog is live, please work with Academic Affairs to ensure your edits are visible in the live catalog.

CIM for Programs—this application feeds into the curriculum tab content for each major, minor, or concentration. In the catalog, you will notice the table of program requirements found on a major’s curriculum tab is grayed out. This is because that information isn’t editable through CAT. It is only editable through CIM for Programs. You can either click the edit link within the gray box or go to CIM for programs and search for the program to being edits. This application is also where new programs are created.

CIM for Courses—this application syncs with banner and provides the course details to the Catalog as well as the scheduling system CLSS. If a course needs to be changed, go to CIM for Courses and enter the course code. Then, click “edit course” to begin making edits. Once submitted into workflow and approved, the information will sync with banner overnight as long as there aren’t glitches. If the new course details are not showing up as approved or reflected in the catalog, please check in with Academic Affairs.

CLSS—this application is used for building course schedules for each semester. The information for each course is populated through CIM. For example, if you want to offer an online section of a course, it must have the online delivery format checked off in CIM for courses in order for that to be a scheduling option.
