We understand that classroom learning requires flexibility so some adjustments to a
syllabus may be necessary as the semester progresses. By the same token, students
need substantive syllabi in order to be able to effectively plan their semester.
Drew’s credit hour assignment policy treats syllabi as a key to the assessment of the
in and out of class work that is required for successful course completion.
All syllabi with a completed credit hour worksheet must be submitted to the
program Director/Convenor. Programs will collect syllabi for all courses and
submit them as a group to the Dean’s Office by the second week of the semester.
