The Challenge

Modernizing Outdated Curriculum Processes

Before implementing Kuali, Southern New Hampshire University managed curriculum through paper forms, manual processes, and aging software with limited automation. Governance relied heavily on people rather than connected systems, making it difficult to maintain efficiency, transparency, and consistency as the institution continued to grow. The university needed a more modern approach that could simplify curriculum management while supporting collaboration across academic departments.

The Solution

One Connected Platform for Academic Operations

Southern New Hampshire University implemented Kuali Curriculum Management and Kuali Catalog to modernize curriculum governance and improve how academic information is managed and shared across campus. More recently, the university expanded its use of Kuali by adopting Kuali Build to digitize additional institutional processes, including service request forms, waiver management, and concept approvals. Together, these solutions provide a connected platform that supports both academic operations and campus-wide workflow automation.
