Section outline

  • Every instructor at SCC is required to include certain information in their syllabus. Each semester, the Dean of Teaching and Learning Support updates the information so that is timely and accurate. These syllabus statements can be found in the Concourse Syllabus tool, which is available in every course (you simply have to make some edits and make it available for students to view). Please see below in the Resources section for more information about Concourse.
