===Purpose===
<p style="max-width:70em !important; margin-bottom:15px;">In agreement with the Board of Regents Bylaw 4.1, the College of Nursing is required to “inform students concerning the requirements, standards, objectives and evaluation procedures at the beginning of each course.” The syllabus serves as a formal record of course content in a consistent, summary format, and is used to disseminate information in a structured way for presentation to accrediting agencies, nursing boards, other academic institutions and working committees for use in course and program evaluation. All syllabi past and present are stored electronically. Syllabi must follow the guidelines and templates provided in [[CON Syllabus Templates|Appendix X]].</p>


===Practice===
===Procedures===
<ol style="max-width:67em !important;">
<ol style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:67em !important;">
<li>Each course must have a syllabus and follow the templates in [[CON Syllabus Templates|Appendix X]]. </li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Students who wish to be considered for UNMC academic scholarships should complete the UNMC Scholarship Application found on their People Soft TO DO LIST by April 1 or within 45 days after acceptance to the CON.  The application is completed only once upon admission to the CON.  Some graduate scholarships may also require application through the Graduate Studies Office. </li>
<li>Each course may elect to have an addendum in addition to the syllabus. The purpose of the addendum is to provide additional, supplemental materials that are specific for the course and/or division. The template for the addendum is included in the appendix.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Graduate students interested in graduate assistantships should apply by June 1 and October 1 to the College of Nursing Student Services.  Interviews will be conducted by faculty with money designated for graduate assistantships after June 1 for the academic year and October 1 for spring semester. </li>
<li>The syllabus and addendum (if appropriate) should be developed and updated prior to the start of a course and must be posted for student viewing no later than one week (7 days) prior to the beginning of the semester.</li>
<li style="margin-bottom:15px;">Graduate student scholarship funds are reviewed and awarded by the Professional Graduate Nursing Affairs Committee, and the PhD Affairs Council, annually prior to the fall semester.
