Syllabus
CSUN Syllabus Policy
To better inform students about the requirements, content, and methodology of the university’s curricula, all faculty teaching classes will distribute a written syllabus to each student in the class and/or post it online no later than the first class meeting. Visit CSUN Syllabus Policy and Course Accessibility Checklist.
Q: Do you have sample language to include Canvas Ally in a syllabus?
Canvas Ally is a university initiative to help make course materials more accessible to all students. Next to each file in Canvas is a small arrow icon that opens a menu with three options. The third option is Alternative Formats. You will be able to download different formats of the file, which may include a PDF, browser (HTML), reader (ePub) or audio (MP3) files. For more information, please visit www.csun.edu/ally.
