Notice: The August Blackboard release includes significant Gradebook changes. Some linked resources may not yet reflect these updates.
The Course Outline is the curriculum document that communicates the Learning Outcomes to be taught and assessed in your course.
All course outlines can be found on the S Drive (link below). Please note that you will need your SLC credentials (email address) to access this resource. If you are unable to access this (or are unable to find your most current Course Outline) please use our Booking Service (link below) to talk with an Educational Developer who can assist you.
Faculty should review the Course Outline and the Learning Plan document with students before starting their first lesson every semester to ensure the learning expectations are properly communicated to all students. These documents should also be made available in Blackboard by uploading them to the prescribed content area within the Bb course site.
There are currently two Course Outline templates in circulation. The new version will be phased in as programs go through Program Review and Renewal with the Quality Assurance department.

Faculty should ensure they find the most recent version of their Course Outline by reviewing the file name
e.g., MACH104W24K is the Course Outline used in the most recent Fall 2024 semester.
e.g., MACH104F21K is the Course Outline used in the previous Fall 2021 semester.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Course Outlines are not renewed every term so you might be required to use one with a coding from a previous term. Connect with your school office if you have any questions about the course outlines
The Course Outline template should only be used by faculty who are engaged in a course renewal process.
No - changes to course outlines must be facilitated by annual renewal cycles.
