Tsela is the NWU curriculum management system (CMS). This system provides an electronic platform for an end-to-end roadmap that manages internal and external curriculum-related applications as approved by the Senate Committee for Academic Standards (SCAS).

Tsela brings the applicant and other role players together on one platform for a smooth facilitation of the process flow; while maintaining the management of the NWU curriculum.

The types of activities on the CMS are broadly grouped into

a) the amendment of existing qualifications and academic programmes; or

b) the development of new ones. These activities are inclusive of existing and new modules. Tsela will house a record of changes made over time that will provide for the required audit trail.
