Environment
This article applies to Bowdoin website editors who maintain academic sites in the Cascade Content Management System (CMS).
- Audience: Academic department and program site editors.
- Scope: The Requirements and Learning Goals pages, which integrate with CourseLeaf. For the related course-listing integration, see Courses (Integration with Banner) in the Related Articles section.
Resolution
Requirements and Learning Goals for each academic department or program are pulled in automatically from the Bowdoin College Catalogue and Academic Handbook, which is managed using the CourseLeaf software. These two pages are not editable within academic websites.
No action required: This information should be managed in a standard location on all academic sites for consistency. Do not modify the navigation location or page names. No action is required from site editors.
How to Request Updates
If you need to make updates to the listed requirements or learning goals, contact the Office of the Registrar. Once changes are made in the Catalogue, they will automatically be reflected on your departmental website.
Examples
Important: This integration relies on the structure of the Catalogue and Academic Handbook.
Interdisciplinary Majors, Minors and Special Areas of Study that do not have their own standalone Catalogue pages will not be able to use this integration. Point to the official Catalogue page for requirement information to ensure accuracy.
