If this is not possible, hard copies should be distributed to students. Ideally, hard copies of course syllabi will be included in course packets, which are purchased by the students from a campus or local copy center. As a last resort, the department will pay for copies of syllabi which are limited to 10 pages or fewer. If you have chosen the latter option, the originals for your syllabus need to be given to the departmental secretary at least 3 weeks prior to the beginning of the semester. Students requesing instructional accommodations due to disabilities must arange for such accommodations through the Office of Disability Services.
Many instructors require students to purchase course packets.
These may include forms, handouts, instruction sheets, professional articles and book chapters. We urge you to plan ahead and include as many of your handouts as possible in your course packets. Copies of course packets can be prepared by a campus copy center or by a local commercial copy center such as Copyworks. Typically, the campus copy centers can duplicate for a lower price than the local commercial centers. When the copies have been completed, the secretary will return the originals to the instructor's box.
