All instructors are expected to have a syllabus for the courses they teach. To learn about the required and recommended syllabus statements, visit the Syllabus Resources webpage from the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs. This page is the definitive resource for syllabus statements - if you find conflicting information elsewhere, make sure you are using the information from this page.

Faculty are invited to use the Syllabus Template, a customizable Microsoft Word syllabus that Online and Strategic Learning designs and maintains. This template file includes the required and recommended syllabus statements provided by the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs.

You're also encouraged to include links to VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) statements for all third-party tech tools you use in your course. These statements provide information about how the service or tool conforms to Section 508 standards for technology accessibility. The next page in this self-paced course includes VPAT links to the most common tools, so you can copy and paste them into your syllabus.
