Course Syllabus: Communication of Course Requirements to Students

The course syllabus is a contract between the faculty member and the student and must be communicated to students in writing at the start of the semester.

Syllabi will include institutional, school and departmental policies.

Changes to the syllabus will be communicated to students in writing. Students are responsible for meeting the requirements of the course as outlined in the syllabus and for requesting clarification from the instructor if items are not clear.

Students who experience difficulty in meeting course requirements should discuss their situation with the instructor and seek help. For more information about the course syllabus, please contact your program’s Director, Chairperson, or Dean’s Office.
