Syllabus-Specific Resources

Faculty should refer to the Academic Affairs section in Brightspace to obtain documents to assist you putting your course syllabus together.

Process for submitting course proposals - the course proposal form, the draft syllabus, and the GPH Guide to Syllabus Preparation & Checklist  should be completed and signed, and sent to Sydney Veneboer at svb2022@nyu.edu. The proposer's Chair/Program Director should be copied on the email as well. Please note that AAC will make every effort to review your course proposal at the meeting you submitted it for; however, it depends on what other items are on that meeting's agenda.
