Simple Syllabus Import from Standard on Canvas

1. To start, open your course in Canvas.
   
   
2. If prompted to enable Simple Syllabus, select yes
   
   
3. Ensure that you are on the home page of your course
   
   
4. Select Simple Syllabus from the nav bar at the top

In event the Simple Syllabus tab is missing from the nav bar, instructions to enable it may be found at the following FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) link:
https://staffsupport.spcollege.edu/hc/en-us/articles/31621482457883-Simple-Syllabus-FAQ-for-Canvas

As mentioned in the FAQ, if you have merged courses, it may take another 24 hours for Simple Syllabus to appear in the course.

Faculty teaching from a Standard Course can copy the syllabus by using the Import tool (see screenshot and video). You should import the entire syllabus from the related course standard and then edit the information that is specific to you and the course that you are teaching.

Some edits to consider are:

• Ensuring that Respondus LockDown is toggled off unless you are using it.
• Ensuring that the 3rd Party Platform under Technology Requirement and Policy is filled in
• MyCourses schedule dates can be used by instructor, but they may be toggled off if not being used
• As an option, Course Assignment Schedule may be provided by the instructor
• As an option, Communication Plan may be provided by the instructor

In Simple Syllabus, anyone can find anyone else’s syllabi by using the Import tool (unless the privacy is set to only students in that class). Faculty can import an entire syllabus or select specific components to import. The copy tool (“Replace with a different syllabus?) is isolated to just that individual’s personal syllabi. To import another instructor's syllabus, type their name into the instructor field.
