Syllabus Information

Directions

Each quarter faculty need to develop a syllabus for each class they teach, submit the syllabus to the college Syllabus Upload and make the syllabus available for students. This website provides all the information you will need to complete the syllabus process. The process for developing a syllabus includes:

Review the Required Components, the Examples and the Syllabus Template
Develop your syllabus by completing the Syllabus Template or closely following it as you create your own syllabus
Upload your syllabus (this is required every quarter) at https://ads.edcc.edu/syllabi/ (For instructions, click on the link below the Login button.)
Post your syllabus to your eLearning course or other web-based site. A commitment to sustainability is included in the Mission, Goals and Philosophy of the college (www.edcc.edu/about/guiding.php); please limit hardcopy distribution of your syllabus, if possible.
