In Simple Syllabus, a Course Template is generated for each part-of-term a course is offered at a college, signified by the college's acronym in the course information.

When a Designer enters information into the Course Template that is offered for the earliest part-of-term, it will automatically "roll" the content forward to the Course Templates for subsequent parts-of-term for the current semester—and future semesters.

In the example below, EDUC-1300 courses are offered in four different parts-of-term at SPC, and entering the course materials into the Spring 2023 Wintermester template will propagate the items onto the templates for the Full Term, Start II--14 Week Session, and 8 Weeks Flex II Session.

Once the Designer role has been assigned to a user, they can log into Simple Syllabus and access the Course Template(s) from the Course Template link [A] in the navigation bar, then select the part-of-term when the course will first be offered from the Term picklist [B].

Course Template Designers have access to enter information into the following components:

• Materials Component - Adding items to the list will add the items to the top of any entries instructors add at the section-level. (In other words: it will not overwrite the information instructors add to the syllabus before template edits have been made and submitted.)
• Evaluation, Course Policies, and the 2^nd Schedule Content Components - Unless it's left blank by the Designer, adding information to these components will overwrite the information Instructors may have entered and submitted at the section-level before the template edits were submitted. (This includes content that may have rolled forward from a previous semester.)
• Any additional content components the Departmental Template Editor may have created and provided editing access to the Designer to input information.

Select the Edit button [pencil icon] next to the Course Template to begin entering the information. Enter the information you would like to populate onto the section-level syllabi for instructors. Once you are finished, Submit the Course Template to propagate the information onto syllabi for the current and future part-of-terms.

Because Simple Syllabus is currently set to notify instructors to complete any unpublished syllabi 7 days out from the start of class, Course Template editing permissions will be restricted 8 days before the part-of-term's start.
