Semester conversion provides an opportunity to reexamine and redesign curricula and recalibrate the expected learning outcomes of our degree programs. This conversion truly means a transformation of teaching and learning at UC. This page provides information for faculty and staff about the academic side of the conversion process: getting started with the building of semester courses and programs, using the eCurriculum system, timelines, steering committee information, and more.
