The MCCCD strives to create a productive learning environment for all students. Students will be advised of course content and instructor expectations through a course syllabus. The course syllabus serves as an agreement between the instructor and student.

The instructor must present a course syllabus to students during the first week of a class (before the end of drop/add). A copy of the course syllabus must be submitted to the division/department office at the college no later than the end of the first week of class.

The following items must be included or referenced in the course syllabus:

  • College name, Campus or Site
  • Instructor’s name and contact information for student support
  • Course information
    • Title, prefix, course number and section number(s)

    • Academic term and year, e.g., Fall 2016

    • MCCCD Course Description and/or Overview

    • Course format, e.g. Online, Hybrid, Face-to-Face

    • Credit Hours

    • Instructional Contact Hours and Minimum 

      Expectations for number of hours spent out-of-class

      to complete coursework (See Federal Credit

      Hour Definition)

  • Attendance requirements
  • List of required and recommended texts, materials and technologies.
  • Statement of student responsibility for the information in the syllabus.

  • Statement indicating that information included in the syllabus may be subject to change such as: “Students will be notified by the instructor of any changes in course requirements or policies.”
  • Statement or link regarding services for students with disabilities, unless instructor has placed the statement as an announcement in the classroom with the subject header classroom accommodations for students with disabilities, or the statement is placed on another piece of mandatory course material.
