Teaching Learning and Student Development (TLSD) Syllabus Templates

A template to generate a syllabus is available for our faculty (linked below). While use of this template is optional, it may serve as a useful starting place for new faculty and a helpful resource for continuing faculty.

The TLSD Syllabus Template is a fillable Word Document, with sections highlighted for faculty to input their course details. The TLSD Syllabus Template Guide provides instructions for completing the TLSD Syllabus Template, as well as additional examples, suggestions, and resources.

The Syllabus Templates are pre-formatted and include current college policy language, according to the ECCFA contract (Article 4.31), as well as helpful resource links.

The TLSD Syllabus Template was first revised during Fall 2021 to 1) Maximize accessibility and 2) revise language and details, informed by the Center for Urban Education’s Equity-Minded Inquiry Series: Syllabus Review Tool.

Note: The TLSD Syllabus Template and ABEC Syllabus Template were revised on 12/17/2025 to revise three issues to better align with the Yuja Panorama accessibility checker in D2L. The updates are not required parts of the syllabus template and are not accessibility requirements.
