About the Syllabus Index Page

The syllabus page makes it easy to communicate to your students exactly what will be required of them throughout the course such as course policies, required materials, participation, or anything else. 

Using the Rich Content Editor to build your syllabus will allow you to use the Heading structure (H2, H3, H4, etc.) and Accessibility Checker to improve the accessibility of your content. Please see the sample template on this page which may be customized with your course information. How do I use the Accessibility Checker in the Rich Content Editor? 

The Course Summary on the Syllabus page is automatically generated in chronological order based on Assignments and Events within a course. If you will not be utilizing the Course Syllabus page, you can hide it from the menu: How do I reorder and hide Course Navigation links?
