Wondering what should be included in your syllabus? What are the Centralia College specific requirements?

This page will guide you in the right direction but, as always, check with your department chair or dean for specifics for your course.

Syllabus Policy

Each course will have a syllabus with specific information that is made available to students by the first day of class. Please reference the syllabus checklist to ensure that your syllabus contains all required elements.

When including an attendance policy in the syllabus, faculty are strongly encouraged to add this language: “For extenuating circumstances related to a medical condition or disability for which you may require reasonable accommodation, please refer the Disability Statement.”

Course Descriptions, Class Information

Information for your syllabus (class days/times, item numbers, course codes, title, description, room location.) can be located here.

College Catalog

The college catalog contains policies that will be helpful in crafting your syllabus. You can find policies an attendance, grades, programs, etc.

Submitting your syllabus & faculty schedule

Every quarter your syllabus and faculty schedule must be submitted to your dean or their designee. The syllabus and faculty schedule are due by Friday of the first class week. An email with contact information and deadline is sent to the faculty listserv as a reminder in advance of the start of the quarter and again during the first week of classes.

Faculty schedules should be posted on or near the door of the faculty members office. If faculty do not have an office space then they do not need to post their schedule. Be sure you let students know how and where to contact you if you do not have an office on campus.
