There are two different approaches to creating a new syllabus from scratch:

• Choose course first
• Choose course later

Choose course first

1. Log into the Syllabus application at https://syllabus.sfsu.edu/login and go to the Courses page by selecting Courses from the left sidebar
2. Find the row for your course (make sure to pay attention to which semester is labeled)
3. Select + Create New in the row for your course

   

4. You are now in the Syllabus editor and will have a Course Information section already included in your syllabus
5. Begin adding content to your syllabus! Review the Adding Content to a Syllabus help doc for tips.

 

Choose course later

If you would like to wait to choose a course to associate with your syllabus:

1. Log into the Syllabus application at https://syllabus.sfsu.edu/login and select Create New Syllabus from the left sidebar
   1. If shown page with header Choose Your Starting Point, select University Base Template followed by Start from Base Template
2. You are now in the Syllabus editor and can begin adding content to your syllabus.  Review the Adding Content to a Syllabus help doc for tips.

 

To associate with a course when ready:

1. Go to the syllabus that you wish to associate with a course
2. Select Course Information at the top to add this section to a syllabus

   

3. Once this section has been added to the editor, choose your course from the drop-down
