Fall I 2024 Faculty Guidelines
We have converted the Faculty Guidelines to a Google Document. This new format includes a navigable Table of Contents with links to each section, updated information about recent changes to college policies and procedures, the new CUNY placement information, as well as the usual information found in the faculty guidelines memo.
Faculty received this via email during the week of 8/27/24. You can also access it here:

Optional Syllabus Templates
Rachel Boccio and Tara Coleman created syllabus templates for ENG 101 and ENG 102 that implement accessibility and UDL considerations. Dominique Zino created a syllabus template for ENG 103. These are optional but available if you’d like to use them. You’ll find these files located directly below the Intro To Sheets on each page:
