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 (a video tutorial can be accessed at http://www.kaltura.com/tiny/ks5qd):

  1. Navigate to your Blackboard course shell.
  2. Click on the Syllabus tab located on the course navigation menu (left-hand side) under Course Information.
  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.
