Academic Curriculum Review and Evaluation System (ACRES)
The Academic Curriculum Review and Evaluation System (ACRES) is an electronic means for creating, routing, evaluating, and approving new courses, course modifications and course deletions within Arizona State University. It allows faculty, staff, and administrators to share information about course changes, and to access course information. ACRES currently provides a means by which course information can be fed electronically into the Arizona Course Equivalency Tracking System (ACETS) for transfer articulation processing.
ACRES does not involve a new curriculum approval process. ACRES provides a method of electronically submitting and routing curriculum proposals. It also provides a way to track where a proposal is in the approval process and to access proposals from any ASU unit.
