Syllabus Resources
Cal Poly Humboldt Syllabus Repository. This publicly available repository contains copies of syllabi for courses recently taught at Cal Poly Humboldt.
Cal Poly Humboldt Course Syllabus Policy. A syllabus is more than just a calendar of assignments. This policy names all the components required in the syllabus and provides suggestions based on best practices.
Syllabus Addendum. This link leads to a page that contains current links to relevant campus policies, procedures, and resources for students. In order to save space in the syllabus, it is recommended that a link to this page may be included in the syllabus in lieu of the links to individual policies.
Syllabus Template & Recommendations. There are two ways to access the syllabus template:
- Add the syllabus template to your Canvas course directly, by logging into Canvas and navigating to your course. Follow the instructions to add the template by using the “Design Tools” feature which will populate the template in your "Syllabus" page. Watch the How to Launch Design Tools in Canvas and/or How to Use the Cal Poly Humboldt Accessible Syllabus Template videos for step-by-step instructions.
- Contact the Center for Teaching and Learning for assistance.
- Access the Microsoft Word syllabus template and upload it into Canvas.
Shared Course Outline Template (requires Humboldt login credentials). A shared course outline is not a syllabus and is not provided to students—it is used to inform the creation of a syllabus for a specific course. The purpose of a shared course outline is to support reasonable consistency across the offerings of a course.
