Course Outlines and Syllabi
Course Outlines
A one-page course outline is required by university policy for every course offered by the Faculty of Health Sciences. Instructors will receive an email reminder through TRACS to upload their course outlines. Outlines must be available to students at least two weeks prior to the start of the registration period or two months before the semester begins (March, July and November). Note that the one-page outline is different than the syllabus. See below for syllabus information.
Instructors upload their course outlines online. Please follow these instructions:
| 1. Log in to outlines.sfu.ca. 2. Select semester, course and section. Click the round icon. 3. Input data to the fields. (This can be done by free-format typing or cutting & pasting) 4. Save. 5. Scroll back up to the top of the page to confirm that the outline was saved successfully. (See green box) 6. Once the outline is finalized, click “Continue”, go to the next page, and click “Submit”. 7. The system will automatically advise the program assistant that the outline is ready to be activated. |
Before your outline is activated online, the program assistant will review to ensure that all required fields are complete.
If you have taught the course before, you may want to use the previous outline as a starting point and make any desired changes. The course content should correspond to the SFU Calendar description. If it does not conform closely, you must apply for approval before any changes can be published. Contact the appropriate program assistant, depending on whether you are teaching an undergraduate or graduate course, if you have not taught a course before and would like a copy of a previous course outline for your reference, or if you would like to apply for approval to upload content that does not closely conform to the SFU Calendar description.
Refer to this link to search for the archived course outlines: http://www.sfu.ca/outlines.html. The system has archived outlines starting from Fall 2015 onwards.
Course Syllabi and Syllabus Policies
Refer to the Policies and Procedures Related to Syllabi Review, Development and Distribution (this link requires your ID to login) for more guidance about drafting a syllabi and to locate a syllabi template.
All HSCI courses at both the graduate and undergraduate levels must have a detailed syllabus that delineates course objectives and means of assessment. Attached to this policy is a template to help you design of a syllabus so that it outlines the appropriate level of detail in terms of content, objectives, and assessment tools. The recommended text in regards to grading distributions, student conduct, and other policies are also provided.
All new and substantively updated/revised courses must be reviewed as indicated below. Syllabi submitted for review do not need to be in the final draft. The GSC and UGSC are generally concerned with the review of the following: 1) the statement of learning objectives; 2) an outline of topics; and 3) a list of required readings/texts.
You will receive an email from the TRACS system to upload your syllabus, in accordance with the following schedule:
|

For new or substantially revised courses, feedback will be provided to instructors three weeks prior to the start of the term. Notably for graduate courses, where accreditation requirements demand that courses meet certain core competency requirements, it is expected that faculty will comply with requests for revision.
The course syllabus represents a contract between the instructor and student. It is important that it clearly outlines expectations, grading and attendance policies, and appropriate student conduct guidelines to all students enrolled in the course.
A syllabus does not need to be provided in hard copy and can be distributed through Canvas or through other online formats. The scheduling of Topics may be changed after the start of a term, but once the syllabus has been circulated to students, it is strongly advised not to make further changes to: a) grading policies; b) policies regarding student conduct and academic honesty; or c) the timing of key exams.

Rounded landings add style and dimension to the flooring of entryways, room transitions and other areas of the home. Properly installing hardwood flooring, both to the upper and lower steps of rounded landings, however, presents unique challenges. With a few specialized tools and materials that you can rent or buy at a home store and some woodworking techniques, though, do-it-yourselfers can create attractive, professional results.
Upper Landing
-
Install hardwood flooring to the raised section of the landing until it overhangs the edge.
-
Construct a platform from scrap wood the same height as the landing to support the compass arm. Nail the platform to the subfloor on the lower level of the landing. Secure the compass arm to the platform and to the router.
-
Cut the overhanging pieces of hardwood flooring off using the compass to guide the router along the curved edge of the landing. Make several passes, cutting off about 1/8 inch at a time.
-
Make a final pass with the router in order to cut a groove into the edge of the flooring.
-
Apply wood glue to the groove you created. Slide the tongue of the nosing into the groove, tapping it into place with a rubber mallet.
Lower Landing
-
Install courses of hardwood flooring to the subfloor on the lower level until you reach the landing.
-
Hold your next piece of flooring against the rounded edge of the landing. Set the compass to a width slightly wider than the widest gap between the landing and the flooring piece.
-
Hold the metal side of the compass against the vertical surface of the landing. Slide the compass along the surface, marking the flooring with the pencil.
-
Cut the flooring along the pencil mark with a jigsaw or a router. Slide the piece of flooring into place, slip its groove over the tongue of the previous course and secure it. Continue installing courses in this manner along the edge of the landing.

The following describes the different types of course sections that are available at SFU. A course section broadly refers to the delivery mode of a course, i.e., how a course is offered. When you are searching for classes in goSFU, you may see that a single course can have multiple course sections/offerings that you may choose from. Certain types of courses, offered in various disciplines, may be restricted to exchange/study abroad students, or require additional steps to access.
Course Section Types
| Day Courses ("D" courses) | All course components (lectures, labs, tutorials, etc) are in person, on one of our three campuses. Departments may restrict access to some of these courses. See the "Restrictions by Subject' section below. |
| Evening Courses ("E" courses) | All course components (lectures, labs, tutorials, etc) are in person, on one of our three campuses. Departments may restrict access to some of these courses. See the "Restrictions by Subject' section below. |
| SFU NOW Courses ("J" courses) | SFU's Nights or Weekends (NOW) program was developed to allow students to complete their degrees by taking only evening and weekend classes. Exchange and study abroad students do not have priority access to SFU NOW courses. Students may access these courses during the 4th week of the enrollment period (during "open enrollment") if space is available. During the priority enrollment period, exchange students may be added to the wait list for a maximum of 2 courses. |
| French Course Sections ("F" courses) | The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences offers a B.A. in Public and International Affairs, taught primarily in French. This is a specialized program also known as the French Cohort Program, which may accept incoming exchange / study abroad students on an individual basis. Courses within this program in Political Science, History and French are instructed in French. Additionally, elective courses taught in French may be offered in other departments or faculties from time-to-time, denoted by F100. For more information, please contact fcpmgr@sfu.ca and cc exchange@sfu.ca. |
| Distance Education Courses ("C" or "OL" courses) | Exchange and study abroad students are not normally permitted to access courses offered by distance education. When viewing class schedules in the Student Information System, such courses will have a section number beginning with the letter "C" or "OL", instead of the usual "D" (eg "C100" or "OL01" instead of "D100"). Further, Distance Education courses also carry supplementary charges that are not covered by the exchange tuition waiver. |
| Blended Courses ("B" courses) | B courses have a combination of in-person and online components, with the online components being asynchronous. We recommend exchange and study abroad students to consult with their home universities about being allowed to take these courses while on exchange. |
Writing, Quantitative and Breadth Courses (WQB courses)
Some courses at SFU are designated as Writing, Quantitative, or Breadth. Degree-seeking students at SFU require a certain number of "WQB" courses in order to complete their degree.
| Writing Intensive Courses ("W" courses) | Courses that have a "W" in their number (eg CMNS 253W) are considered "writing intensive" courses. Exchange and study abroad students may have access to "W" courses, but need to demonstrate proof of prior academic English work (above and beyond the basic English language requirements for admission to SFU). For more information please contact exchange@sfu.ca. |
| Quantitative Courses ("Q" courses) | Some courses at SFU are designated as Quantitative ("Q" courses); they will have the "Quantative"/"Q" notation in the course descripton and in the course catalog. Exchange and study abroad students may have access to "Q" courses, but need to demonstrate prior academic quantitative work. For more information please contact exchange@sfu.ca. |
| Breadth Courses (E.g., B-Hum/Soc/Sci) | The significance of Breadth courses mostly apply to degree-seeking students at SFU as students are required to complete a certain number of Breadth courses taken outside the student's major to complete their degree. If a course is designated as a Breadth course, it will be indicated in the course description and in the course catalog. Departmental restrictions may apply to exchange and study abroad students; see the "Restrictions by Subject" section below. |
Other Restrictions
| Auditing Courses | Students admitted as undergraduate exchange students to SFU are not permitted to audit courses during their exchange terms. |
| First Year Programs | Some academic departments offer specialized programs for first year university students. These programs are not open to exchange and study abroad students. |
Due to demand and space restrictions, some courses and academic programs are restricted or have limited access for exchange/study abroad students.
Definitions:
Restricted: Exchange/study abroad students will not have access to courses denoted as restricted.
Limited Access: Exchange/study abroad students will not receive priority enrollment for courses with limited access. Students may access these courses during the 4th week of the enrollment period (during "open enrollment") if space is available. Many courses at SFU fill up quickly and classes will likely be full when exchange / study abroad students are permitted to access these course during open enrollment. As such, students should also select additional back-up courses as alternatives when requesting courses with limited access. During the priority enrollment period, students may be added to the wait list for a maximum of 2 courses.

That the interest aroused throughout this country in foreign trade is clearly indicated by the unusually large number of men who this year have enrolled in courses dealing with international commercial problems offered in the Graduate School of Business Administration, is the opinion of Professor George B. Roorbach, as expressed in an interview with a CRIMSON reporter. Professor Roorbach has come to the University to occupy the chair of Foreign Trade recently established in the Business School.
He explained in detail the policy of the school in training its students for this branch of commercial enterprise. There is a course in American foreign trade in which national trade policies, methods and developments will be considered; and lectures have also been arranged on trade conditions in Europe, South America and the Far East. Commerce with the Orient is becoming increasingly important and offers a wide field for enterprising business firms, said Professor Roorbach.
Co-operation with Export Houses.
An attempt to secure the co-operation of large business houses will also be made in the extension of the new courses. Export and import houses will be asked to submit specific trade problems for discussion in classes. If possible, men specializing in foreign trade will be given an opportunity to spend their summer vacations with such firms, in order to gain practical experience.
"The United States is a young country whose energies have been devoted quite rightly to expansion and development within its own borders," continued Professor Roorbach. "American industry has been occupied with supplying American demand. There has been little need to compete with foreign markets. Europe has sought our raw materials, and our manufactured goods for export have been limited. Hence our large export trade has grown without effort on our part. Now that manufactured goods are being produced in such large quantities, we must seek markets in competition with other manufacturing nations.
Volume of American Commerce Great.
"When an English merchant sends his goods forty miles across the channel into France, that is considered foreign trade. But when a New England manufacturer sends his products three thousand miles across the continent to California, it is merely interstate commerce. It is easy to see, therefore, that the volume of American commerce has been great, although it has not been specifically designated as foreign trade.
"American business methods have usually been successful, and when a real effort has been made to capture a foreign market, Americans have rarely failed. For example, Germany, France and other European countries are today flooded with American razors, cash registers and farming implements of all sorts.
"The United States has now reached a stage in its development in which its industries are growing and finding new markets necessary. This is one of the most important causes for the intense interest now being shown in foreign trade throughout the United States, and the desire of American business to invade the foreign market."
The training will be deliver until 31 March 2023
The Government has confirmed the winners of the Home Decarbonisation Skills Training competition. The £9.2m funding offers subsidised or free training for existing or new workers in sectors that can help with household energy efficiency.
The new funding will provide training for 8,900 courses across accredited centres in England. It will primarily focus on heat pump and energy efficiency installers.
The funding is available to existing workers in the sector who want to retain or upskill, as well as entry-level workers.
The training will be delivered until 31 March 2023. It builds on the 2021 funding phase for the same competition, which saw £6m in Government spending used for almost 7,000 training opportunities.
Business and Energy Minister Lord Callanan said: “The green energy sector is driving growth and creating jobs right across the country, and this funding will make sure we have enough tradespeople trained up and able to take advantage of these opportunities.
“We are making homes greener and cheaper to keep warm and training thousands more skilled installers will ensure we keep accelerating the pace of creating cleaner and more energy efficient buildings.”
The announcement comes after the Government finally signed on a public information campaign for improving home energy efficiency backed with £18m. It has also confirmed the details of the next phase of the ECO scheme, ECO+.
In a move that has been advocated by environmentalists, groups representing vulnerable demographics and even the UK Government’s own climate advisors, the UK Government confirmed a campaign advising members of the public on saving energy at home “without sacrificing comfort”.
Tips provided will include draught-proofing windows and doors; adjusting the temperature on radiators in empty rooms and reducing boiler flow temperatures to 60C. Boiler flow temperatures indicate how hot water becomes before it is sent to radiators. This latter change, BEIS claims, could save the average home £160 per year.
BEIS has also outlined details about the next phase of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. The scheme obliges medium and large energy suppliers to fund the installation of energy efficiency improvements in British households, prioritizing those most in need, including pensioners, low-income families with young children and those on means-tested benefits.
BEIS has confirmed that the new ECO phase, ECO+, will be available to a wider range of groups, with the aim of helping all who do not currently have access to any other government funding to Excellerate home energy efficiency. It will include £1bn of funding – 80% of which will be made available to homes in lower council tax brackets with an EPC rating of ‘D’ or below.
ECO+ will run for up to three years from next spring. BEIS estimates that it will save the average home around £310 on annual energy bills.
