Syllabus Guidance for Fall 2026
Indiana University has implemented CourseLeaf, a curriculum and course management platform, to meet the new state requirement for public syllabus access. Syllabus publication for SIS-generated courses will happen automatically when the instructor changes the course state to Published. There is no additional action needed. IU sends the syllabus links and CourseLeaf displays them, so you only need to maintain your syllabus in the Canvas Syllabus section. It will not replace Canvas; rather, CourseLeaf will serve as the public portal for prospective and current students to view course syllabi.
Deadline: Post your syllabus at least 7 days before your course begins so students have the information they need from day one. The Syllabi FAQ outlines what to include, what to omit, and when to post.
