Syllabus Template

The CTLE provides a Syllabus Template containing all required items from MCCCD’s Administrative Regulation 3.6 Distribution of Course Syllabus. There are now two syllabus template options for faculty to choose from.
 

1. Simple Syllabus template in Canvas

Simple Syllabus is a syllabus creation tool in Canvas. Find and activate this tool in the Canvas navigation; the button is called Syllabus+.

To learn more about using Simple Syllabus, review this Quick Start Guide or register to attend training.
 

2. Word or Google Doc template

This syllabus template is available in Google Docs or Word. It also contains Optional Elements, which have suggested wording that is not required but is frequently used

If you wish, use our Syllabus Checklist to double-check that your completed syllabus contains all MCCCD requirements.

*Please note that in August 2020, many components of the syllabus template were removed and placed on the GCC Common Syllabus Elements page. A note was added to the syllabus template to point students to this shared webpage that will be maintained at a college-level.
