How do I use the Syllabus as a student?

In Course Navigation, click the Syllabus link.

The syllabus includes the syllabus description [1], the syllabus table [2], and the sidebar [3].

The syllabus description may contain the course description, a brief introduction, class guidelines, weekly reminders, and other important information from your instructor.

The Syllabus is automatically generated for the course and contains a list of assignments and events. Assignments are indicated by the Assignments icon [1], and events are indicated by the Calendar icon [2]. Non-graded items with a to-do date show the to-do date in the syllabus [3].

Click the title to view the details of the assignment or event. Any assignments or events that are past the due date are highlighted in gray. Undated items [4] are listed in alphabetical order.

The sidebar section displays information about course events and grading. If your Syllabus is also set as your course home page, the sidebar may also include additional features.

The Syllabus sidebar includes a mini calendar [1]. Any date that includes an event or assignment due date are shown with a gray background. To view an associated assignment or event in the Syllabus table, click the calendar date.

If your course includes weighted assignment groups, the sidebar may also shows the percentages of each group [2].

Note: If you cannot view assignment group totals, your instructor has restricted this feature.
