RE: Attachment of Syllabi to MyUI: Additional Information

E-mail this article

Starting with Spring 2018, each undergraduate course listed on the MyUI schedule must have a syllabus attached before the early registration period begins for the next semester.

This fall, that deadline is Monday, November 6.

  • The Offerings Planner should be used to attach syllabi so that only those in the UI community with a HawkID and a password can access a syllabus.
  • In order to view the attached syllabi, login to MyUI by using the login icon in the upper right-hand corner of the MyUI landing page.  Once logged-in, go the course tab.  The syllabus, if attached, will be visible once you click on a course link and view the course information.

Exceptions
As with the change in the due date for ordering textbooks so that UI is better able to comply with the HEO Act*, exceptions to the syllabi attachment policy may be made for the same reasons:

  • If an instructor has not yet been hired
  • If the instructor has not yet been assigned to a course
  • If the course is new and still under development
  • If the textbook is new and still under development 

Because of this early posting date, some syllabi will need to be revised before the course is taught.  A disclaimer should be added by the instructor at the top of the first page of the syllabus, with the following wording suggested: This syllabus is subject to change; the final version will be made available for enrolled students at the start of the semester.

Thank you.
