Syllabi
- Katherine Worboys Izsak
Syllabi guidelines can be found at https://faculty.umd.edu/teach/#syllabus and a template can be found at https://tltc.umd.edu/syllabus. All syllabi MUST be completed and provided to students on the first meeting of the course. Syllabi must include the information outlined in the Faculty Handbook at https://faculty.umd.edu/main/activity/teaching-policies-guidelines#syllabus-guidelines. As a reminder, instructors may engage their academic freedom to adjust courses, but they may not change the title, description, or learning outcomes for a course. These University-approved pieces of course information can be found in the Courseleaf curriculum management system at https://courseleaf.umd.edu/courseadmin/. All syllabi must include a link to University-level student policies at the appropriate level--for undergraduates at https://www.ugst.umd.edu/courserelatedpolicies.html and for graduates at https://gradschool.umd.edu/course-related-policies. Instructors may use their syllabus to elaborate on course-specific policies so long as they do not contradict university-level policies.
If any faculty or administrators would like assistance with reviewing and updating other templates in circulation to ensure they are consistent with campus policy and accessibility standards, they should schedule a consultation at https://tltc.umd.edu/instructors/teaching-topics/teaching-consultations.
