Remarks PENDING
Whereas Many students plan their course schedules around the course content of their prospective courses; and
Whereas It is in the best interest of a student to register as early as possible to ensure proper class scheduling; and
Whereas Many Colleges, Schools and or Departments do not post syllabi for their courses on the Web; and
Whereas This body has already passed and had approved by the University's President a resolution requesting the posting of course syllabi for students to access before registration.
Be It Further Resolved That Colleges, Schools and Departments post course syllabi on their websites as soon as possible; and
Be It Further Resolved That Colleges, Schools and Departments make every effort possible to determine that these syllabi are posted and easily accessible before the first day of registration for all students each semester.
