Program Student Learning Outcomes (PSLOs)

Each academic program includes a set of PSLOs approved by the department faculty. These serve as a useful guide for understanding how a course contributes to the broader objectives of the overall program. The PSLOs for each program are published in the catalog.

Course Syllabus Design

KSU uses Simple Syllabus for syllabus development and archival processes.  Simple Syllabus can be accessed through D2L.  The development of a syllabus using Simple Syllabus is now required for all scheduled courses, including but not limited to directed research, internship, and thesis coursework. Click here for additional information regarding the implementation of Simple Syllabus at KSU. For support utilizing Simple Syllabus, contact Digital Learning Innovations.

Faculty are required to update course syllabi each semester with current course information as listed in OwlExpress and the Catalog. Each syllabus must include the required components in order to submit the syllabus for publication in the syllabus library.  Components of the syllabus marked as public, will be viewable by an individual accessing the syllabus in the public library, while components marked as private are only viewable by those logged into the library with their KSU credentials.  

The syllabus template provided in Simple Syllabus provides faculty and students with a comprehensive set of policies and resources designed to support academic success and well-being. The Institutional Syllabus Policies, Procedures, and Resources serves as a central reference point, offering vital academic resources, guidelines for grade appeals, and essential student support services.
