How to Post a Course Syllabus

Syllabi are posted in Blackboard through the Simple Syllabus tool. To set up your syllabus follow the steps below

  1. Navigate to your Blackboard course shell.
  2. Click on the Syllabus tab located on the course content page
  3. If you have previously created a syllabus for the course in Simple Syllabus, the information and content entered will automatically import from the most recent course section. To change the syllabus selection, click on Replace with a Different Syllabus (or click on the Import icon found on the left-hand panel).
  4. Once the preferred syllabus selection is made, edit or update the syllabus information, as needed.
    • To edit, click on the pencil icon to the right-hand side of any editable section. (Note that University policies cannot be edited; you can edit/add your own course policies in the appropriate sections.)
  5. After all edits are complete, hit the Submit button below the template.
