Syllabus Review

� All CEP instructors are required to utilize a syllabus template and the college’s syllabus software, utilizing the same format ensures consistency across offerings. This template and software are discussed and vetted during the fall professional development. The syllabus template includes, but is not limited to sections detailing: college’s name, course title, course number, course description, credit hours earned, required textbooks, official course description, course learning outcomes, course grading and listing of required assignments with point value, attendance and late work policies, academic dishonest and plagiarism code, and a detailed schedule of assignments with noted units, readings, assessments and corresponding due dates included.

� At the beginning of each semester, CEP instructors are required to submit course syllabi via Concourse. The syllabi are reviewed by the appropriate Division Chairperson and/or Faculty Liaison. Should a CEP instructor require further guidance on a course syllabus before approval can be granted, the Division Chairperson and/or Faculty Liaison communicates all necessary improvements directly to the CEP instructor with a due date for resubmission, permitting all lines of communication necessary for improvement. While all course syllabi are required for submission approval at the beginning of the semester, faculty site visits ensure consistency of implantation with regard to the content stated on the original syllabus submission. Should any departmental updates need to be made with regard to syllabi and/or the content, this would be communicated either at the discipline specific professional development and/or through our ListServe to the CEP instructors.
