Uploading Syllabi and Bios

Instructions for Faculty and Staff to Upload Syllabi and Bios

Course syllabi and links to instructor biographies may now be published online, through the Schedule of Classes. Please add your syllabus and biography link for the upcoming semester. Granting access to these syllabi allows instructors to communicate expectations and gives students valuable course information prior to the start of the semester.

Faculty:

Contact your department’s scheduling coordinator to make sure your name is added to your course sections in SIS (p .4 of RNR.U.SCHEDULE).
Contact the Registrar’s Office (regschedule@usc.edu) to make sure you’re added to the syllabus updater inclusion group. In your message, include your NetID and the department prefix(es) that you will support (example: CHEM).
Log in to MyUSC (my.usc.edu.)
Find the Syllabus Updater on your dashboard.
Select the term you wish to access.
Click on Add Syllabus and follow the instructions to upload a file for each course on your list.

Staff:

If you are new as a scheduling coordinator, or if a new prefix is assigned to you, contact Classroom Scheduling Office (classroom.scheduling@usc.edu) to check if your name is listed under your prefix(es) in SIS.
Contact the Registrar’s Office (regschedule@usc.edu) to make sure you’re added to the syllabus updater inclusion group. In your message, include your NetID and the department prefix(es) that you will support (example: CHEM).
Log in to MyUSC (my.usc.edu) once the Registrar’s Office has enabled your account to upload syllabi.
Find the Syllabus Updater on your dashboard.
