An accurate syllabus is the cornerstone of a course proposal. In order to ensure your proposal does not have delays, the Office of Undergraduate Education has created the CFANS Syllabus Template, which meets the majority of syllabus requirements. If you choose to develop your own syllabus template or make extreme modifications to the CFANS Syllabus Template, please review the Syllabus Requirements policy.
When you have completed your syllabus, review the CFANS Syllabus Checklist to ensure accessibility and compliance with university policy.
