Syllabus Templates

Crafting a comprehensive and accessible syllabus for your course can be a time-consuming task. We've developed these starting points to make syllabus creation easier for you.

Why Use a Syllabus Template?

Customizable: These templates provide a solid foundation. They are fully customizable to suit your specific course requirements and teaching style.

Comprehensive: Our templates include all the essential components of an ISU course syllabus, from course objectives to grading policies and essential university policies.

Accessible: These templates prioritize accessibility, ensuring inclusivity for all students. Unlike some common file formats, they are compatible with assistive technologies—ensuring all students can access and engage with course materials effectively.

Quality Matters: You can be confident your syllabus meets several specific review criteria outlined in the Quality Matters™ (QM) 7th edition rubric.

Time-Saving: Starting with a template preserves your time and energy for other aspects of course development.
