Add to this syllabus the relevant "statements and policies" provided by the Office of Undergrad Education.

 

Upload

The Registrar seeks to make available syllabi for all courses in a coming term "pre-enrollment" for student viewing. In other words, while your syllabus is available through Carmen, a student must be enrolled in the course before s/he can access the Carmen site. This request from the Registrar seeks to make detailed information available to students before enrolling. The following page on the Registrar's site provides the upload link as well as FAQs and other helpful information:

Course Syllabus Requirement

Section (A) of Faculty Rule 3335-8-19 (modified April, 2016) states: Each course as defined in rule 3335-8-01 of the Administrative Code will have a syllabus to be provided to each student explaining how the student's performance will be assessed. University policy further requires that it be made available to students at the beginning of, and throughout the conduct of the course. The syllabus is typically written by the instructor, but often follows guidelines provided by the program, the department, or the college. There is no central requirement for the contents of a course syllabus, but there is a culture that has been established around the expectations associated with this important document.
