Policy requiring Georgia college professors to put their class syllabus online begins to take effect

Have you ever wondered what college students are studying these days? Under a University System of Georgia policy rolling out this semester, finding out could soon be easier.

The policy, approved in May, calls for publicly posting all class syllabuses, including a course description, grading policy and reading list, onto university websites.

Starting this fall, syllabuses for mandatory general education and education classes are required to be posted. All courses will need to be viewable ahead of the fall 2026 semester, and all curricula vitae for faculty members involved in classroom instruction, including office address, work email and office phone numbers will need to be made public by the spring 2026 semester.
