What is Simple Syllabus?

Simple Syllabus is where all course syllabuses at SLCC can be found. You can navigate Simple Syllabus to find syllabuses for courses that you have enrolled in. Additionally, through the Simple Syllabus Library you can view the syllabus for courses that you are interested in taking.

Note: This article is written for students. Our instructor help document is found at What is Simple Syllabus and How Do I Use It?

How do I use Simple Syllabus?

There are two ways to access Simple Syllabus. When you have access to Canvas you will find a link in your courses that will take you to the syllabus as well as to your dashboard, where other syllabuses can be found. However, if you have not yet been given access to a Canvas course, you can log into your dashboard directly.

Accessing the Simple Syllabus Dashboard

The easiest way to set up a direct link to the Simple Syllabus dashboard is either by logging into MySLCC and searching for the Simple Syllabus card (the search feature is at the bottom of your MySLCC dashboard), or just by bookmarking and logging in directly to https://slcc.simplesyllabus.com/. This will take you through the Single Sign-On process with two step verification.

Note: If you have any problems logging into SLCC services through the Single Sign-On, reach out to the Help Desk by emailing help.desk@slcc.edu or by calling 801-957-5555.



Accessing the Simple Syllabus through Canvas

Once you have access to your Canvas course, this will be the quickest way to access Simple Syllabus. Navigate to your section, find Simple Syllabus in the course navigation, and click the link. At that point the syllabus for that section will load in Canvas and you can start to enter information.

Please note that Simple Syllabus will not work in Safari or outdated browsers. Be sure you are using a browser such as Chrome and that it is updated to the latest version.

Simple Syllabus Library

When syllabuses have been created they go into the Simple Syllabus Library, which can be viewed at any time. The Simple Syllabus Library allows you to navigate by school and subject to view course objectives and descriptions from available syllabuses to help you choose the right course for your own educational journey.

Simple Syllabus Library through the Dashboard

If you do not have access to a Canvas course yet, you can find the Simple Syllabus Library through your dashboard. First, log into your dashboard using the steps outlined above. After that, click the Simple Syllabus Library icon (shown below) and you will see the library interface. From there you can navigate by school and subject to view the syllabuses.
