You can find the Syllabus Approval application under Academics > Courses, and inside the Syllabus Management subfolder.
Once opened, you'll be presented with search options and a list of departments that you oversee. Inside each department, you'll see a list of syllabuses waiting for departmental approval.
After opening and reviewing the content of a syllabus, you have several options at the bottom of the screen:
- Comments: This field lets you share notes about the syllabus either with the instructor or the Dean's Office. This field is NOT included on a published syllabus.
- Update Syllabus: This option lets you make changes to the syllabus without returning or approving it.
- Return to Creator: This option returns the syllabus to the instructor who created it. If there are deficiencies, you should outline them in the Comments field.
- Approve Syllabus: This option promotes the syllabus to the Dean's Office for review and approval.
