When you have finished editing your syllabus, you are ready to mark it for review – note that this does not do anything for student viewing – students can view the syllabus as soon as your course is published. Also, you do not have to wait for approval before students view the syllabus. However, do make sure that the red writing at the top is gone before showing to students. Do so by going to Audit, at the top of the syllabus page, choosing “Submitted for review” in the audit status drop down box, entering a message in the box, and finally, clicking update. There is no need to send a notification to anyone.
NOTE: It is important to remember that once you have published your course, the current version of the syllabus in whatever state of editing will display.
