Coursedog Syllabus - How to Complete a Syllabus Proposal

We are currently piloting Coursedog's Syllabus module, and only select faculty and staff have access at this time.

Follow the steps below to complete and submit your syllabus proposal in Coursedog.

Log in to Coursedog through single sign-on.
Select the Syllabus product.
Look for the current academic year and your program in the Syllabus Groups list and click to select it.
Click "Propose New Syllabus" from the top of the page.
Select the matching form from the dropdown list (there should only be one form option).
Then click "Submit".
All forms contain the same three required fields. Select your Term, Course Number, and Course Section from the lists.
1. You can click into the fields and type to search.
2. See this knowledge base article for guidance on term and course section selection.
Once you've selected term, course number, and course section, some of the other fields will automatically populate from Coursedog Scheduling and Curriculum data. These fields are not editable. If the data is incorrect, it needs to be updated by the Registrar's office.
Complete the remaining fields. You can copy/paste from a Word document or other file, but be sure to double-check formatting after it pastes.
1. Required fields are marked as such, and the proposal cannot be submitted if any required fields are empty.
2. Some fields have a question mark next to their name, which you can mouse over to see help text for guidance on completing that field.
3. Some fields may also have longer help text located to the right of the field. This will not display on the final PDF document.
4. You do not need to complete the proposal in one sitting. It automatically saves, and you can get back to it under "Drafts" from the left side menu.
If you need to collaborate with anyone on your syllabus proposal, access the saved copy in "Drafts" before you submit it. Click into your draft, and then copy the link from the browser's address bar and send to any collaborators who have access to Coursedog Syllabus. Caution: Only one person at a time should edit a given draft, to avoid unintentional data loss.
When you're finished filling out the syllabus proposal, click "Submit Proposal" from either the bottom of the page or the right-hand side. It will automatically be sent through your program's defined workflows.

If you have any questions or feedback, please reach out to your college's work group representative and/or Jessica Fearington.
