Overview
Syllabus Management is built to make the process of creating and submitting a syllabus as straightforward as possible.
Faculty can create syllabus drafts, duplicate existing syllabi or proposals, and track their syllabi throughout a workflow.
How to Do It
Creating a New Syllabus | Populating Your Syllabus
Creating a New Syllabus
Step 1:
Navigate to the Syllabi tab and select the Syllabus Group that your Syllabus will be a part of.
In the below screenshot, for example, you would select the group labeled “Current Academic Year” (actual terminology will vary by institution).
Step 2:
Click “Propose New Syllabus.”
Although you will eventually need to select an Effective Start Term or Date, you will do that in a later step and don't need to select anything here other than "Propose New Syllabus”.
Step 3:
Select the form you will use for your syllabus.
The form you should select depends on how your institution has structured Syllabus, but you can expect to see a form connected to your Department, College, Campus, or other academic unit.
Step 4:
Click “submit”.
This will take you to the syllabus creation and submission page.
Populating Your Syllabus
Step 5 (Optional):
Under “Pre-populate Data”, you’ll have the option to copy data from a previous proposal or syllabus.
Select “Copy from Proposal” to copy information from an existing proposal (a syllabus that has been submitted but has not completed its workflow yet).
Select “Copy from Document” to copy information from existing syllabi.
Step 6:
Populate your syllabus.
Begin by selecting the Effective Start Term, Course Name, and Section Number. Once you’ve completed those fields, fields that are integrated with Scheduling and Curriculum will automatically populate.
Some fields will be marked as “Required” and others will be optional.
Some fields will also be pre-populated with Default Values created in the template and form.
Some fields may be editable and others may not be, depending on the configurability settings that exist at the template and form level.
Step 7: Once you have completed all required fields and any desired optional fields, use the “Submit Proposal” option at the bottom of the page or in the actions menu to submit your proposal.
