The Syllabus Workflow
Step 1. The Common Syllabus Template (CST) is Edited (Optional)
CST editors select the "Edit" button (1) on the Common Syllabus in the "To Do" column to customize it. Editing the Common Syllabus Template is optional depending on a Department's needs.
Note: The syllabus type (Syllabus or Common Syllabus) is on the top left corner (2) of the syllabus box. The Term (Fall, Spring, etc.) is on the top right corner (3) of the syllabus box. Use the Simple Syllabus: Accessing the Simple Syllabus Dashboard for filtering options.
Step 2. The Syllabus is Edited and Submitted for Approval
Instructors select the "Edit" button on the syllabus in the "To Do" column and submit it once completed. See Simple Syllabus: Submitting Your Syllabus for instructions.
Note: Once submitted, the syllabus will appear in the "Awaiting Approval" column in the instructor's Simple Syllabus dashboard.
Step 3.The Syllabus is Approved or Rejected
Approvers select the "Review" button in the "To Do" column. Use the Simple Syllabus: Reviewing a Syllabus guide for instructions.
A syllabus that has already been approved should only be edited if absolutely necessary. The syllabus will need to go through the approval process again for the changes to be implemented. Use the Simple Syllabus: Editing an Approved Syllabus guide.
Step 4. The Syllabus is Completed
Once the syllabus is approved and published (the check mark on the syllabus box), it can be viewed, printed, and shared.
After the syllabus is approved, it will be available to students in D2L and/or the Simple Syllabus dashboard on the first day of the term.
