New Syllabus Statements for Academic Year 2020-21

Please note several new or updated syllabus statements, which can be found on the Sheridan Center webpage, Creating a Brown University Syllabus. Required statements also can be found below:

1. Health and Safety Statement for Hybrid Course Meetings (NEW: required)
   For students meeting in-person in a hybrid course, please remember that you signed an attestation that you will follow required public health practices. These practices include wearing a face mask at all times in university facilities, maintaining social distancing from others, and refraining from eating or drinking during class. If you do not have a mask, I will ask you to leave so that you can retrieve one before rejoining class. Disregard of these practices is a Student Code of Conduct violation that could result in removal from campus. Please note that instructors are required to abide by the same guidelines, and I look forward to working with you together this term to keep our community safe and healthy.
2. Books, Supplies, and Materials (REVISED: required)
   If your Brown undergraduate financial aid package includes the Book/Course Material Support Pilot Program (BCMS), concerns or questions about the cost of books and course materials for this or any other Brown course (including RISD courses via cross-registration) can be addressed to bcms@brown.edu. For all other concerns related to non-tuition course-related expenses, whether or not your Brown undergraduate financial aid package includes BCMS, please visit the Academic Emergency Fund in E-GAP (within the umbrella of "E-Gap Funds" in UFunds) to determine options for financing these costs, while ensuring your privacy.
3. Accessibility and Accommodations (REVISED: required)
   Brown University is committed to full inclusion of all students. Please inform me early in the term if you may require accommodations or modification of any of course procedures. You may speak with me after class, during office hours, or by appointment. If you need accommodations around online learning or in classroom accommodations, please be sure to reach out to Student Accessibility Services (SAS) for their assistance (seas@brown.edu, 401-863-9588). Students in need of short-term academic advice or support can contact one of the academic deans in the College.
4. Class Recording and Distribution of Materials (NEW: suggested if recording)
5. Use of Technology to Support Student Learning in Your Course (NEW: Optional)

More information on required syllabus elements -- such as course goals and estimated student work hours (totaling at least 180) -- can be found on the Creating a Brown University Syllabus. Other optional but recommended language, such as diversity and inclusion syllabus statements, can also be found there.
