CourseLeaf supplies Bentley University's curriculum and catalogue maintenance software. Catalogue (CAT) is used to manage the university catalogue, while Curriculum (CIM) manages all additions, deletions and revisions of course and program (major/minor) information. This page provides a single launch point for all aspects of the software, as well as a central hub for resources and support from Bentley staff. This page will continue to be updated as additional support materials are developed.
