Syllabus Guidelines

This website is meant to provide guidelines concerning the creation, distribution, and modification of syllabi at the University of Louisville. The guidelines provided here are offered as a model for the creation of syllabi generally.

Several programs and units at the UofL have established unit-specific guidelines or requirements in order to standardize syllabi style and content. We encourage faculty members to consult their unit/department head to ensure they are meeting relevant expectations regarding course syllabi.

The syllabus design and distribution guidelines within this website are organized into the following two categories:

1. Availability and Distribution of Syllabi
2. Syllabus Content Guidelines
   

 
These syllabus guidelines are based on recommendations and research from a select set of web-based and scholarly resources.
