Much of the required syllabus language is now housed on an Academic and Administrative Policies tab in all courses in Canvas. We ask that faculty publish their Canvas courses by the start of classes each semester, whether or not they plan to use Canvas for course management. Note that a blank Canvas course may not be publishable, so we advise faculty at least upload their syllabus to Canvas before publishing.

Please insert this text in your syllabi:

University, Academic, and Administrative Policies

  • Please review university emergency preparedness, response procedures and a training video posted at www.pugetsound.edu/emergency.
  • For information on academic and administrative policies (such as policies on grade policies, leaves of absence, declaring a major, academic integrity, and academic petitions) please refer to the Academic and Administrative Policies section of the University Bulletin located here: pugetsound.edu/bulletin.
  • If you are seeking a religious accommodation in an academic course or program, please follow the process provided in the university’s policy on Student Religious Accommodations in Academic Courses or Programs, available at https://www.pugetsound.edu/office-university-counsel/policies/campuswide-policies/student-religious-accommodations-academic-courses-or-programs.
