Book spaces through Outlook.

We have transitioned from using Picktime to Outlook for booking spaces. For any booking requests, please reach out to Callie calliedunlap@ku.edu or Haley hhaldeman@ku.edu. They can check availability, suggest alternate times if your preferred slot is unavailable, and provide options for other spaces. Additionally, Callie and Haley manage Outlook bookings for support spaces and rolling pin-up boards. Feel free to contact them for assistance!

 

 

In alignment with regulations from the U.S. Department of Education, KU’s Syllabus Policy requires that all courses must have a syllabus on file with the University. A syllabus for every course you are listed as the instructor is required. 

For 2024, use the Simple Syllabus form instead of uploading a PDF. Ensure all sections are fully completed.

Courses with multiple sections and instructors can create a single syllabus and import its content into other sections. Edits made in one section will not affect others.

After creating a Simple Syllabus, you can import, update, and modify it as needed.

Access

Instructors can access Simple Syllabus within Canvas or directly through the Simple Syllabus Portal.

Tips on the CTE website

Preparing a Syllabus goes over every section in the Simple Syllabus form.

Developing a New Program

One faculty member or group of faculty (authors) interested in proposing a New Program must first consult with their department chair, curriculum committee and the dean. Best practices suggest the department should be aware and generally supportive of the program idea before you begin the pre-proposal. The pre-proposal form requires support from the Dean.

In general, a program idea should be pursued only if the program meets all or some of the following criteria:  

  • Increases new SCH for the school and does not simply move SCH from one program to another.  
  • Adds to online program offerings and is marketable nation-wide  
  • Maximizes existing instructional resources and includes a program launch plan that does not initially require added resources  
  • Avoids replication or redundancy with other existing programs  
  • Has an interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary focus 

Once you have been given the green light to proceed with a new program/ pre-proposal reach out to Associate Dean Herstowski to be added to the Teams Site: Program Proposals :: Developing a New Program

Familiarize yourself with the Handbook found on https://academicaffairs.ku.edu/, understand the difference between the pre-proposal, requirements for the final proposal, who approves at each step and develop a rough timeline.  

The timeline and process for proposal review vary depending on the type of program proposal. Online programs will also require Jayhawk Global’s review and support. For new tracks/concentrations within existing degree programs, expect a final approval timeline ranging from 2 to 3 months. New degree programs may take up to 18 months for approval.
