This recipe is instructive for both new and returning faculty / adjuncts. In it, you will learn how to upload a syllabus for the first time using the Syllabus Uploader, as well as how you must edit a past syllabus before uploading it for a new term.
There are several ways to get to the Syllabus Uploader. We show you the two main ways below, but if those do not work, you may go directly to the Faculty Tools Webpage by clicking here.
When you use the Syllabus Uploader to submit your syllabus, you satisfy the requirement to submit your syllabus to Academic Affairs.
What The Syllabus Uploader Does
When you submit your syllabus to Academic Affairs through the Syllabus Uploader, the Uploader automatically attaches the following very important addendum to your syllabus.
Because the Uploader automatically adds this addendum to your syllabus, this is why you must delete this portion before uploading a syllabus from a previous course, or else it will duplicate. *Note* that this only applies to faculty who are uploading a syllabus from a course they've taught before.
Accessing The Syllabus Uploader
Step 1: The most common way of getting to the Syllabus Uploader is through your Blackboard course. In most cases, the Uploader is under the Syllabus or Course Information tab, as stated above:
If you do not see the Syllabus Uploader anywhere in your course, please visit the Faculty Tools Webpage directly. The link is in the first few paragraphs of this article.
How to Use the Syllabus Uploader
Step 2: Click the Syllabus Uploader link, pictured above.
Once you select the Syllabus Uploader, it will take you to the faculty tools webpage. You may need to sign in, so be prepared to login using your OC credentials.
Step 3: Once on the Faculty Tools Webpage, select the relevant term for your course.
Step 4: Click the Browse button across from the relevant course.
Step 5: Choose your file (find your syllabus) and double click it.
Step 6: Once you've added your syllabus, you should see the file name next to the "Upload" button. Select the upload button.
Download & Delete Buttons
If for any reason you lose your original syllabus file, you can always revisit the Faculty Tools Webpage, select the relevant term, then download the syllabus by clicking the download button.
If you happened to upload the wrong syllabus to a course, you can delete it by clicking the "delete" button, and then start the process over.
Success!
