Simple Syllabus
New for Fall 2026: Simple Syllabus is integrated directly into Blackboard Ultra course shells, allowing instructors to create, edit, and publish their course syllabus using the University’s approved template. Beginning Fall 2026, all undergraduate courses will be required to have a syllabus published through Simple Syllabus. Training resources, help, and support are available through the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning.
