All faculty must create and provide accessible syllabi that include required elements from NYSED, as well as any official statements or policies required by the Division of Academic Affairs.
The Accessible Syllabus Template attached here meets WCAG 2.1 AA standards, supports Universal Design for Learning principles, and includes up-to-date information and policy links needed for compliance.
The attached document includes the following sections and is designed to support both quality and compliance:
- The Syllabus Requirements section explains what must be included in the syllabus and offers context and guidance.
- The Checklist provides a brief but comprehensive list of requirements; check them off to ensure all required elements are complete.
- The Accessible Syllabus Template provides a structured, consistent, and accessible format for your course syllabus.
