Kuali Launches Kuali Academic Ops, a Next-Generation Suite for Curriculum, Catalog, Syllabus, and Scheduling Management

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lehi, Utah – March 26, 2025 – Kuali, a leader in higher education administrative software, today announced the launch of Kuali Academic Ops, a next-generation software suite designed to give institutions greater control, automation, and insight into their academic operations.

For nearly twenty years, institutions have trusted Kuali to streamline and automate processes. Now, Kuali Academic Ops brings together Kuali Curriculum, Kuali Catalog, Kuali Syllabus, Scheduling, and Kuali Build into a fully integrated suite, offering a smarter way to manage academic workflows and improve student success.

"Higher education leaders are under immense pressure to do more with less," said Joel Dehlin, CEO of Kuali. "What they're asking for is straightforward but surprisingly rare: systems that actually talk to each other, a user experience that delights, and solutions that deliver actual outcomes. Kuali Academic Ops brings these elements together through thoughtful design and intelligent use of AI, creating an experience where technology finally feels like it's working for educators, not against them."

A Best-in-Class Suite for Academic Operations

Kuali Academic Ops is designed for registrars, curriculum committees, and academic leadership looking to improve efficiency, compliance, and scheduling alignment. The suite includes:

• Kuali Curriculum – Automates the end-to-end approval process for courses and programs while maintaining robust version control, governance compliance, and full visibility into curricular change history.
• Kuali Catalog – Ensures that digital academic catalogs are always accurate, accessible, and aligned with real-time curriculum data—no manual updates required.
• Kuali Syllabus – Brings consistency and compliance to syllabus management through configurable templates and automated workflows.
• Scheduling – A robust, data-driven scheduling solution that optimizes course offerings based on student demand, ensuring students get the classes they need to graduate on time. By aligning curriculum planning with real-time scheduling intelligence, institutions can maximize classroom utilization, balance faculty workload, and eliminate bottlenecks that delay student progress.
• Kuali Build – A powerful, no-code automation tool that allows institutions to digitize any form or workflow—extending beyond curriculum, catalog, syllabus, and scheduling to improve operations across departments.

Together, these tools deliver a unified platform that drives institutional agility, transparency, and student success.

“This suite isn’t just about digitizing paperwork—it’s about transforming how institutions operate,” said Joel Dehlin. “With automation, real-time data, and seamless integrations, Kuali Academic Ops frees up faculty and administrators to focus on what matters most—student success.”
