SYLLABUS TEMPLATE INSTRUCTIONS
The templates linked here provide the text for both required and recommended language.
- Headings in black are REQUIRED by the Faculty Senate Policy.
- Headings in blue are recommended. If you keep these sections, feel free to change the heading font to match your other heading color (black).
- Text highlighted in yellow needs your attention and perhaps modification. Please delete the note and the yellow highlighting when you are finished modifying these sections.
- The undergraduate template includes text used for courses that also carry graduate-level credit ("slash course"). Please delete this section if it does not apply to your course.
