Syllabus

The course syllabus is important for outlining expectations and supporting student success. As an instructor or faculty associate, you will receive a standard syllabus for each course you are assigned. Please update only your personal information, important course dates (such as drop/add) and the course assignment calendar. Once the syllabus is final, we ask that you upload it to the Course Schedule (instructions below), as this enables it to be searchable and viewable by students.

How to Upload your Syllabus to the Course Schedule

1. Go to http://my.asu.edu and log in (Google Chrome is the preferred browser to upload syllabi)

2. On your My ASU page, you will see a series of icons listed after your courses in the My Classes box. Click on the syllabus icon No Syllabus added. Upload Syllabus now.

3. There are 2 different ways you can upload a syllabus:

   • Option 1: To upload a file from your computer, click the “Choose File” button. From the window that opens up, locate the correct file, select the document, and then click Open.
     Please take note of the uploading format rules that are listed on the upload page and make adjustments if you need to.
     You can then click on Preview to see how the syllabus looks now that it has been uploaded. Once the preview looks the way you want, click the Upload button to make it live for student viewing.

   • Option 2: If your syllabus is already on the internet and you would like the URL to display to students, type the FULL URL into the box and click Upload.

4. After the upload is complete, click the Return to My ASU option on the pop-up window.
   You should now see that the syllabus icon that used to be grey is now blue. This means it is now active for anyone to see when they are searching for classes. If you have problems seeing that the syllabus updated, you can check from the ASU Course Catalog to confirm view-ability.
