Teaching Information for Clemson 

Teaching Resource Guide
The 2023-24 Clemson Teaching Resource Guide is updated annually, to bring together information from units across campus that are connected to the teaching mission of the university.
Syllabi Templates
OTEI has worked with units across campus to bring you syllabus resources: The Syllabus Template Part One 2023-24 document and the University Policies and Student Support Syllabus Part Two 2023-24 document or pdf.
What are these templates? Syllabus Templates Part One and Part Two can help you keep your syllabus up-to-date with university policies, practices, and resources.Part One is a student-centered template which you can rewrite to suit your needs. It notes specifically which elements are required by Clemson and is reviewed annually by the Undergraduate and Graduate Deans. Since it uses a Word template, it is in an accessible format.
Part Two is revised by applicable units on campus so that student resources and university policies are up-to-date. It can added to the end of your syllabus OR be saved as a separate document (a syllabus "part two"), thus making your syllabus easier to read. It is designed to be accessible and, for easy reading, has icons to help students track topics.
Modify either document, adopt wholesale, distribute, and post to Canvas. It is your choice!
