As the fall semester approaches, it’s a great time to update syllabi. Offices across UVA have developed syllabus statements and guidance in support of transparent, accessible, learning-centered course design.    

• Explore sample syllabus statements on topics such as Honor, Title IX, and student wellbeing via the Center for Teaching Excellence’s Sample Syllabus Statements.  

• Review updated FAQs and resources on Generative AI in teaching and learning from the Provost’s Office.  

• Access FAQs, planning calendars, and suggested syllabus language regarding religious accommodations via the UVA Office for Equal Opportunity and Civil Rights. 

• Discover Canvas accessibility guidance and more from the Student Disability Access Center (SDAC).  

Incorporating these statements and resources into your syllabi clarifies course expectations to students and demonstrates your commitment to an inclusive academic community.
