"Curriculum Unavailable" is the 19th episode of the third season of the American comedy television series Community and the 68th episode overall. It was written by Adam Countee and directed by Adam Davidson. It originally aired in the United States on May 10, 2012 on NBC.
In the episode, Abed attends a therapy session with the rest of the group after he insists that something is wrong at Greendale. As they explain some of Abed's past behaviors, they remember their experiences at the school and also realize that something is wrong there. However, the psychiatrist, Dr. Heidi, insists that nothing is wrong at Greendale and encourages the group to move past their time there.
The episode's format is similar to season 2's "Paradigms of Human Memory", parodying the format of clip shows by creating sequences of flashbacks using entirely new footage. In its original broadcast, the episode was seen by 2.99 million viewers. The episode received positive reviews from critics, though many felt it was inferior to "Paradigms of Human Memory".
