Course Syllabi and Addenda

Each semester all faculty must upload their course syllabus to the campus SharePoint site. This syllabus must include the special addendum page for their course, provided by Institutional Effectiveness.

Each semester instructors must:

1. Download the appropriate addendum from SharePoint, and include it with their syllabus
2. Upload their combined syllabus to SharePoint

1. How to Download the Syllabus Addendum

1. Go to "Course Syllabi Addendum" within the SharePoint site
   • Click on “Sign In” in the top right corner.
   • Type in the same User name and Password you use to log on to your LACC office computer or LACC email.
   • Click “OK.” Your name will appear in the top right corner.
   • NOTE: If you have issues signing in (especially if you are working off campus), please refer to “Troubleshooting” section at the end of this document.
2. Scroll down to find the correct discipline, and click on the plus icon (+) to view the available courses.
3. Click on the box to the left of the correct course to select it.
4. Scroll to the top of the page, and click "Download a Copy" in the tool bar.
5. Choose “Save” at the prompt and pick a folder where you want it to be saved.
6. If you have Adobe Acrobat Pro installed, you can merge the addendum with your syllabus.
7. Print, make copies, and distribute to your students along with your syllabus. If teaching an online class, make sure to include the addendum along with your syllabus.

 2. How to Upload a Syllabus to SharePoint

   • In the navigation on the left, find the semester for your class and click on the "Upload Syllabi" link below it.
   • Click on “Sign In” in the top right corner of the page.
   • Type in the same User name and Password you use to log on to your LACC office computer or LACC email.
   • Click “OK.” Your name should appear in the top right corner.
   • NOTE: If you see message such as “Access denied. You do not have permission to perform this action or access this resource” that means you have not yet signed in. If so, go back to the previous step.
2. Once you have signed in, you will see the link with green plus sign on the page, click “Add document.”
3. In the pop-up that appears, click "Browse."
4. Locate the syllabus on your computer, click “Open” and then click “OK.”
5. Type in the name of your file. We encourage using following format for the file name: “Course Name and Number, Section No (instructor’s name)”
   • For example: A S L 001, Section 10010 (Quispe, Alfredo C)
6. Choose the correct section number in the SectNo box either by:
   • Clicking the drop down menu and scrolling to find the Section Number of your course (Mac)
   • Typing in your section number (Windows PC)
   • NOTE: SharePoint will not allow you to upload multiple files for one section, so if you want to upload multiple documents you must combine then into single file prior to upload.
