Each faculty member, either full-time or adjunct, is required to present a syllabus to the respective Dean’s office for each course offered by Central Virginia Community College. The syllabus needs to contain the following information:
- Course Title, number, prerequisites (if any) credit/contact hours, and course description
- Instructor’s name, office room number, office telephone number, college e-mail address, and office hours as posted
- Textbook(s) and or supplementary books and materials (Append a bibliography if needed)
- Attendance policy and policy for missing assignments
- Grading scale and procedures
- Statements on safety where applicable
- General course goals
- Common student learning outcomes established for the course
- A list of topics which will be covered during the course
- A list of assignments students will be expected to complete during the course
- The current ADA statement from the college
As a suggestion, faculty members may also want to include a statement that dates in the syllabus are subject to change at the discretion of the instructor.
