Dear Faculty,

Welcome to Fall 2016!

The following links will be helpful to you as you finish preparing your syllabi.  There are a few new things (in BOLD, below):

1.     New syllabus policy:

https://www2.humboldt.edu/policy/P16-03Syllabi-Policy

Please note that there is one link that you need for your syllabus, instead of several.  In place of including “suggested language” about HSU policies, procedures and resources into each syllabus, you only need to include this one link on your syllabi – it covers everything (e.g., academic integrity, add/drop policy): 

http://www2.humboldt.edu/academicprograms/syllabus-addendum-campus-resources-policies

General syllabus preparation information:

2.     September 5th, 2016 is the new deadline to Add or Drop classes without a serious and compelling reason for the Fall 2016 semester (list on all syllabi).

3.     Fall 2016 final exam schedule (list on all syllabi):

5.     General Education and All-University (GEAR) student learning outcomes (list on syllabi for all GE courses):
