CAMPUS UPDATES
New Updates to the Policy on Syllabi
The Educational Policy Committee, in consultation with the Graduate Council, approved amendments to the Policy on Syllabi for Courses. The amended policy will now require all graduate directed research and teaching apprenticeship courses (typically numbered 296, 297, 298, 299, and 500) to have a syllabus. The changes take effect in Fall 2024. Resources are linked below for developing syllabi for directed research and teaching apprenticeship courses.
The Registrar's Office deployed system enhancements and changes to implement lived name for students. The impetus for the project was the UC Gender Recognition and Lived Name policy and the implementation brings with it some consequential changes. Most systems (including ISIS) as well as diplomas and transcripts will be converted to use lived name, which students can enter via the Social Identities Tool. See the links below for more details.
