Introduction

The Syllabi module in CIS allows instructors to submit their course's marking scheme and syllabus to their department for review.

• The Syllabus & Important Dates tab contains important course and session dates, as well as the marking scheme and syllabus submission forms. The forms are split into three steps, each outlined below.
• The Statements & Basic Course Information tab contains the required, recommended, and optional Faculty and University policy statements.

For additional information on creating a syllabus, please refer to the Centre for Teaching Support & Innovation's guide on Developing a Course Syllabus.
