Below are resources to assist you putting your course syllabus together.
Deadlines for New Course Proposals: Course proposals are due 2 weeks before each Academic Affairs Committee meeting as outlined below. For example, if you would like your proposal to be reviewed at the March 29th meeting, the documents should be submitted no later than March 15th.
The course proposal form, the draft syllabus, as well as the GPH Guide to Syllabus Preparation & Checklist should be completed and signed, where necessary, and sent to Lisa Kroin, Director, Registration & Academic services at lrk219@nyu.edu.
