There are two main requirements for making your syllabus available to students:

1. The syllabus must have a Course Information section with the correct course selected.
2. Share Status must be changed to “All enrolled in course.”

Topics in this guide

• The course information section
• Share status
• What a student sees when they sign into Syllabus

The Course Information section

1. The Course Information section allows users to link a syllabus to a course and course section.  To learn how to link your syllabus, view the Linking a syllabus to a course section help doc.
2. Once a syllabus has a Course Information section and is linked to a course and course section, proceed to change the Share Status.

Share Status

1. From the Overview, Courses, Edit, or View pages, select the Share Toggle to change your syllabus’ Share Status.
   
   

   Note: The Share Status option of “Only course instructors (private)” is set as the default, meaning only you and other instructors of this course section can view the syllabus.

2. Once the Share Status is set to “Shared,” you will see the toggler change green and the button with the arrow icon becomes available to select.
3. Select the button with the arrow icon to quickly copy the View URL for that syllabus. This URL can be added to your iLearn course as a URL Resource. Enrolled students are the only ones who are able to view the syllabus with this URL.
   
    

What a student sees when they sign into Syllabus

When a student signs into the Syllabus application, they see all of their courses arranged by semester. If a syllabus has been created for a course of theirs, as well as shared with “All enrolled in course,” then they will be able to access the syllabus. They are also able to view, download as a Word document, and print.
