Faculty Senate Policy 43-00 Syllabus requires that four statements be included in all syllabi, in addition to other required information. This document provides example syllabus statements for: 1) Academic Integrity; 2) Academic Adjustment / Academic Accommodation; 3) Educational Equity / Report Bias; and 4) Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS).

Penn State's IT Accessibility Group created this repository of syllabus templates that allow instructors to more easily create an accessible syllabus. The templates are fully editable Microsoft Word files that include accessible headings styles in several fonts, sizes, and text alignments, an accessible default table format showing visible headers and sufficient color contrast, an image of the Penn State shield embedded with alternative text, and instructions on how to use the templates.

The iStudy tutorials are designed to advance students' knowledge and skills in areas that can promote overall academic achievement, such as studying, communicating, and career planning. Faculty can use the tutorials to help students adjust to college curricula and expectations or add career planning tools to syllabi.
