Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I access Modern Campus Curriculum/ Curriculog? A: Log in: https://sjsu.curriculog.com/ using university credentials. It is also accessible through one.sjsu.edu/. 
Q: How do I manage notifications? A: Notifications go to users who are originators and approver's in the proposal process. See the next question for steps to change the frequency of your notifications in Curriculog. If you think you are receiving notifications in error, please contact: curriculum@sjsu.edu. 
Q: Why am I receiving (or not receiving) notifications? A. Yes. You can change your settings so that you get notifications related to proposals on your list less frequently or more frequently. The options are to get all emails or to get a digest daily, on Monday/Wednesday/Friday, on Tuesday/Thursday, or weekly. To change your notification settings in Curriculog:
  • Go to your name on the top right.
  • Select “My Settings” from the drop-down menu.
  • Click on your name on the left (“My Dashboard” will be to the right of it).
  • Scroll down to the “Email Options” dropdown menu in the "User Rights" section and select another option, such as "Weekly Email Digest". This will send each email notifications out in a weekly digest.
  • Click the "Save Preferences" button.
Q: How do I view a completed proposal? A. In all likelihood, your proposal has made it all the way through the approval process and now has the status of Completed. When proposals are Completed, they no longer appear as active proposals on those various lists. However, you can still view them. Go to the All Proposals tab and use the “Filter by” feature to filter by Proposal Status; choosing Completed under Proposal Status will bring up a list of Completed proposals. If your proposal is not among them, please contact us so we can find out what happened to it.
Q: How do I view edits made to a proposal? A. Under user tracking select "view original with edits” from the drop down menu.
Q: What should I do if my proposal has been pending for a long time? A. You can find out where the proposal is sitting in the approval process by going into the proposal itself, clicking on the “Status” icon in the Proposal Toolbox on the right side of the proposal, and scrolling down. If you like, you can then query the person whose Status is listed as “Working.”
Q: Who can view or edit my proposal? A. Anyone with access to SJSU Curriculum/Curriculog site can view any proposal that has been submitted. Only people who are in the approval workflow can edit a proposal, and they can only do so when the proposal is at their review step.
