Yale Syllabus Template

In collaboration with the Yale Registrar’s Office, the Poorvu Center has developed a customizable, accessible, and fully optional syllabus template for Yale instructors. This downloadable Word document includes syllabus fields commonly used at Yale, with direct links to writing guidance and course design resources. This template may be especially helpful as a starting point for new faculty or new courses.
