Teaching Resource Guide
The 2024-25 Clemson Teaching Resource Guide is updated annually, to bring together information from units across campus that are connected to the teaching mission of the university.

OTEI has worked with units across campus to bring you syllabus resources: The Syllabus Template Part One 2024-25 document and the University Policies and Student Support Syllabus Part Two 2024-25 PDF.
What are these templates? Syllabus Templates Part One and Part Two can help you keep your syllabus up-to-date with university policies, practices, and resources.
Part One is a student-centered template which you can rewrite to suit your needs. It notes specifically which elements are required by Clemson and is reviewed annually by the Undergraduate and Graduate Deans. Since it uses a Word template, it is in an accessible format.
Part Two is revised by applicable units on campus so that student resources and university policies are up-to-date. Parts can added to the end of your syllabus OR this pdf can be downloaded as a syllabus "part two", thus not adding to the length of your own course syllabus. It is designed to be accessible and, for easy reading, has icons to help students track topics. We suggest adding it to your Canvas site.
Modify either document, adopt wholesale, distribute, and post to Canvas. It is your choice!
AI and the Syllabus
Wondering how much AI to integrate into your course?
- Consult our OTEI guide on how to write an AI statement, with three sample statements to model from. Reviewed with the Division of Undergraduate Learning as compatible with the university's policies on academic integrity.
- Need direction for graduate-level use of AI in teaching and research? See this statement from the Graduate School.
- Clemson Libraries has a useful LibGuide: AI and the Classroom. The Libraries also has a subscription to Scite, which provides website citations.
- Clemson has a pro account for Microsoft Copilot--all faculty, students, and staff can log in using Clemson credentials to https://copilot.microsoft.com/. Uses ChatGPT and DalE, it doesn't not save inputs. Find out more at Getting Started with Copilot Pro.
