This toolkit provides essential resources and guidance for using Simple Syllabus at the University of Florida. It supports faculty, instructors, and designated syllabus editors in creating, reviewing, and publishing compliant course syllabi in alignment with UF syllabus policy requirements.
Included resources cover step-by-step instructions for creating a syllabus, repurposing previously published syllabi, and general guidance on system usage.
The Simple Syllabus Library allows the public to view published syllabi. However, editing access is restricted and requires an approved security role and authentication through GatorLink single sign-on (SSO).
Security Roles
Editing access to UF Simple Syllabus is limited to individuals formally assigned responsibility for creating, editing, and publishing specific course syllabi:
- Instructor

When someone is not listed as the primary instructor, secondary instructor, or TA for the course in the Schedule of Courses, additional security roles are required. These security roles are intended for support staff who are not assigned to teach the course. The following security roles are eligible for access:

- UF_N_SIMPLE_SYLLBS_SUPPORT
UF Simple Syllabus editor access is granted through role-based security. Requests for access must be submitted through your assigned Departmental Security Administrator.
