Missouri State’s Student Government Association unanimously approved a resolution on October 26, 2011 asking professors to make course syllabi available to students prior to course registration.

The resolution, which will be given to Faculty Senate for consideration, emphasizes the role that syllabi play in students having a full understanding of a course. The resolution also highlights the benefits of students being able to view a course’s syllabus before registering for the class.

The Student Government Association has created a list of items they feel instructors ought to include on all syllabi, with the understanding that the syllabi made available prior to registration may not be completely finalized.
