Introduction

The UNC System Office Regulation on Publication of Academic Calendars, Grading Policies, and Related Materials (adopted December 19, 2025) and NC State’s Course Syllabus Regulation (revised February 3, 2026) require a syllabus to be available from NC State’s Class Search tool no later than one week prior to the beginning of the term. The instructions below provide information to faculty on how to post the required syllabus information from the faculty center in the MyPack portal.

Academic experiences occurring outside of organized course sections and providing individual instruction in exchange for course credit, e.g. practicums, internships, independent research and dissertations, may not require a syllabus.

Navigate to the Online Syllabi Menu

MyPack Portal > Student Information System homepage > Student Records tile > ‘Faculty Center’ folder > ‘Online Syllabi’ menu item

Instructors will see a list of their courses with either a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ indicator. This indicator is aligned with the Syllabus Requirement by Component Type requirement.

Create or Copy a Syllabus

Create a New Syllabus

For classes with a ‘Yes’ indicator, select that line to launch the Create/View Syllabi window. Select ‘Create New’ to add a syllabus for the selected course.

Enter the information in each required field. This can be copied from your syllabus document or other course inventory record. The course title and description will be pulled automatically from the catalog.

Course materials provided to the bookstore will also be automatically populated in the Additional Required Course Materials section.

There is no need to duplicate auto-populated information.

Once information has been entered, click ‘Save’ to document changes.

Instructors may now ‘Publish’, ‘Edit’, ‘Delete’, or ‘View’ the document.

Toggling the “Published” option will allow the syllabus to be posted when all syllabi are released to the publicly available Class Search tool.

• Click “Edit” to edit the document.
• Click “Delete” to remove the document from this course selection.
• Click “View” to preview the syllabus.

Copy a Prior Term’s Syllabus

Once the document has been created, not necessarily published, it can be copied to other sections.

• Access the course section that does not have a syllabus created.
• Instead of ‘Create New’, click ‘Syllabus Search’. This opens a window accessing previously created syllabi.

• Select the relevant section and click ‘Search’. Select ‘Copy’ to copy the syllabus from the selected section.

• If applicable, make necessary changes to the required sections.
• Click ‘Save’.
• Click ‘Close’.
• The selected syllabus is now associated with the section. You can verify this by clicking ‘View’.
• Remember to ‘Publish’ your syllabi when editing is complete.

Syllabi Changes and Additional Information

To ensure course continuity, any changes to instructional delivery, course structure, activity schedule, grading or assessment structure, or other aspects of the course after the start of the term should be communicated to all students in writing at the time of implementation. Where applicable, the Course Syllabus and the official course record in the Course Information Management (CIM) system should be updated.

Additional information can be found in the Standard Operating Procedure for Submitting Your Syllabus. Questions should be directed to the Syllabus Tool Questions and Feedback Form.
