The Faculty Senate has approved the Student Government Association's request that all courses have an online syllabus to provide them with one place to view information about the course. This website has been created to give you comprehensive information on creating online syllabi.

Use these resources to help you decide what to include in your syllabus:

University Statements and Policies

• Refer to the Teaching and Advising Policies and Procedures Manual for a description of specific items to include in your syllabus (section B, item 4).
• You should also refer to the Student Code of Conduct and Academic Honesty Policy.

Once your syllabus is completed, you can learn how to put it Blackboard by following the steps listed in the EdTech Center's online workshop, “3 Steps to an Online Syllabus.”

If you already have a syllabus that is not in Blackboard, you can link to it from the Blackboard course that was generated for your class. For more information on how to do this, contact the EdTech Center (see below).
