The course syllabus will be consistently organized and formatted by the instructor following a master template and guidelines for using the College’s curriculum management system (WIDS) syllabus template. The WIDS administrator is responsible for maintaining the syllabus template and archiving syllabi after each term.

 

Each course syllabus will contain all attendance expectations, rules, and requirements for which Students and instructors will be held accountable. Any rules or requirements for a course section not contained in the course syllabi will not be enforceable.

 

The course syllabus will be available in each Blackboard course shell in a standard location under the syllabus button on the navigation link. The syllabus will be made available no later than the first scheduled class meeting. For an online course, the syllabus will be available no later than the first day of the semester.

 

The instructor may make changes to section-specific content and schedule (e.g., assignment due dates). All changes will be dated, posted, and announced to Students using Blackboard.

The College’s syllabus of record for all courses and sections will be archived two (2) weeks after each term and stored in WIDS.

 

The Teaching Quality Committee will review the syllabus template annually and recommend changes to the Vice President of Academic Affairs/CAO. Changes to the syllabus template are reviewed by the Academic Leadership Team and approved by the Vice President of Academic Affairs/CAO for revision in the WIDS template.
