3.6.1 Course Syllabus Usage

The primary document detailing the expectations placed upon students in a given class is the course syllabus. Consequently, each faculty member is expected to provide a syllabus to each student in each of the faculty member’s classes. The syllabus should be accessible to the student by the first day the class meets*. A copy of the syllabus for each course of instruction should be placed on file in the appropriate department.

*For the Faculty Internship Instructor of Record, a copy of the completed Internship Learning Agreement, which includes duties and learning outcomes, can be used to supplement the syllabus. These should be made available to the internship student by the first day of their internship and placed on file in the appropriate department.

Our Commitment To Our Students, Faculty, And Staff

At the University of North Georgia, we deeply value and uphold the cherished right of every American to freely express themselves. It is a hallmark of our history, our tradition, and permeates our culture. As a distinguished Senior Military College, with a legacy spanning over 150 years, we take great pride in our role of cultivating leaders who tirelessly defend these fundamental freedoms for all citizens. The legacy of our graduates in this regard is second to none.

As campus leaders, our primary responsibility is to cultivate an academic environment that ensures this exchange of ideas and the safety of our community. Across all five campuses, we are committed to fostering a welcoming atmosphere where individuals feel empowered to freely express themselves and engage in exploration and learning. However, it is essential that these rights are exercised in a manner that upholds our academic mission, preserves the safety of all, and is in accordance with our institutional policies, without unlawful behavior. This means breaking the law, harassment, intimidation, trespassing, violence, and other criminal acts will not be tolerated at the University of North Georgia.

Together, let's uphold the principles of respect, understanding, and civility as we equip our students to walk toward their purpose.

Bold Forward!
