Course Outlines turn the course data your institution already collects in Catalog and Curriculum Management into a ready-to-share outline for every course — automatically, with no extra data entry.
What is a Course Outline?
A Course Outline is a formatted, printable summary of a single course — built automatically from the course data your institution already maintains in Catalog and Curriculum Management. There's no separate document to create or update by hand: as soon as a course's data changes, its outline reflects that change.
Once Course Outlines are set up for your institution, they appear in two places:
• Course Outlines dashboard. Found under Curriculum Management, this dashboard lists every course outline in one place. You can search or filter to find a specific course, open its outline, or export the full list to a spreadsheet.

Setting up Course Outlines for your institution
Course Outlines are configured by our Support team in collaboration with your institution — there are two decisions to make before the outlines go live.
Which fields appear on the outline. Course Outlines are built from the course data you're already collecting, such as department, course description, credit hours, contact hours (lecture, lab, other), grading scheme, semester(s) offered, prerequisites, first year experience designation, capstone designation, and outcomes. You'll work with Support to choose which of these fields — and any others tracked in your catalog — should be included on the outline.
How the outline should look. Support will work with you on the layout and formatting of the outline itself — for example, how fields are grouped and ordered, and how the outline is styled to match your institution's preferences.
To get started, contact support. They'll walk you through field selection and layout and let you know once the outlines are live in your Course Outlines dashboard and online catalog.
