The Course Outline List component allows you to display a list of course outlines from the central Course Outlines Repository. The list can be filtered by term, course level, section and more to only show specific outlines.
Note: If a course outline is not available at www.sfu.ca/outlines, it will not appear in the Course Outline List component.
When should it be used?
Use this component when you need to display multiple related course outlines on a single page. Be aware that the course outline list can get very long, depending on the filters.
Terminology:
Current - Two options, Year and Term, can be set to current, which refers to the current registration term. The current registration term will automatically rollover to the next term approximately 10 weeks prior to its start.
In-Component Editing Options
Course Outline List Tab
Title Header - Insert a title above the course outline list. (If you wish to insert a title with a different size or style of heading, use a Text component.)
Year - Filters outlines by year. If left blank, it will use the current year.
Term - Filters outlines by term. If left blank, it will use the current registration term.
Dept - Filter outlines by department. This is option is required.
Options
Click the Options toggle to reveal additional display options:
Split list - Adds a header above each course. See example 2 for a preview.
Show all sections - This option displays the outlines for all the sections, including tutorials and labs (e.g, D100, D115, D116, D118). Leaving this unchecked will display one outline for each parent section (e.g., D100, D200), regardless of how many child sections a parent may contain. This helps to reduce duplicate outlines.
CSS Class - Allows an author to provide an optional class name that will apply a style to the contents.
Filters Tab
Course Levels - Filter outlines by course level. Check each level you wish to display. If no levels are checked, the component will list all levels.
Sections - Filter outlines by sections. By default, the component will list all sections.

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:
|
Deadlines |
Fall Semester (September – December) |
Spring Semester (January – April) |
Summer Intersession (May – June) |
Summer Semester (May – August) |

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 subjects 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.

5 years, 2 monthsThe Bar Professional Training Course (BPTC) is a compulsory course that all aspiring barristers must complete successfully prior to starting pupillage. The aim of the course, which can be studied either full- or part-time, is to bridge the gap between the academic study of law and the skills that are needed in practice.
The course takes one year full-time, two years part-time or can be integrated as an extension to a qualifying law degree.
Course length varies between providers but your chosen BPTC must be at least 30 weeks long, excluding holidays. If you choose a full-time BPTC, you can expect to do a full day’s work every day of the working week.
WARNING: You should be aware that in March 2017, the Bar Standards Board (BSB) recommended reforming the Bar Professional Training Course.
It said the BPTC must become “a less risky and more valuable investment (both financially and personally) for those who undertake it” and has suggested splitting it into two parts.
It added that while “for the immediate future the current BPTC will of course have to continue, at least in the short term, to provide training for those who have already been accepted onto the course,” after 2018/19 when the licences of current course providers expire, proposals for alternatives to the BPTC should be considered.
Click here to keep up to speed with the latest developments.
Who can apply?
To be eligible for a place on the Bar Professional Training Course you should have either a qualifying law degree (2:2 minimum) or an undergraduate degree in any other subject (2:2 minimum) and a GDL.
A few years ago The Bar Standards Board (BSB) introduced a compulsory aptitude test for candidates wanting to take the BPTC. This tests critical reasoning skills and must be passed before BPTC providers can offer places to students.
Increasing competition means that, statistically, applicants with 2:1 or first-class degrees are more likely to secure a pupillage.
A 2:2 will not automatically prevent admission to the BPTC or pupillage, but you need to be aware that the odds of gaining pupillage will be stacked against you if you’ve only graduated with a ‘Desmond’. Even students with the top grades face intense competition for pupillage.
A CV that can demonstrate your commitment to the profession, for example by completing mini-pupillages and any other form of law-related work experience, as well as extracurricular activities including public speaking/mooting and pro bono work, will also help.

Which BPTC provider?
It is important you find the course that suits your requirements. You should attend different providers’ open days or evenings and speak to current and former students.
Make sure you read all the available literature from the different providers before making a choice and contact them and ask questions when necessary.

How and when to apply for the Bar Professional Training Course
Applications for a place on a Bar Professional Training Course are made through the BSB’s central applications system called BPTC Online. The application form itself needs careful attention. You will be asked to:
- provide details of mini-pupillages and other legal experience;
- explain why you want to be a barrister;
- provide examples of exceptional communication/interpersonal skills;
- provide examples of your ability to accurately analyse large volumes of written information;
- provide examples of how you cope with pressure;
- provide examples of how you have developed your advocacy skills since the age of 18 (having once been an angel in an infant school nativity play does not count).
Give yourself plenty of time to think about the content of the form and make sure you re-read it before submitting it: poor spelling, grammar and typographical errors will make your application look weak and count against you.
What does the Bar Professional Training Course cover?
The BPTC is designed to prepare you for pupillage and the early years of practice. The main skills taught are: legal research, case management, drafting (for example, pleadings, witness statements etc), opinion-writing, conference skills (client interviewing), resolution of disputes out of court (for example, negotiation, mediation) and plenty of advocacy.
The knowledge subjects taught are civil litigation and remedies, criminal litigation and sentencing, evidence and professional ethics. In addition, you must take two options – different providers offer different options, so ensure before you start the course that your chosen provider offers a range of options that you are happy to do.

Cost issues
Training as a barrister is very expensive as the BPTC can cost more than £19,000 with no certain of a job afterwards. Also, do not forget that you will also need money for food, rent, transport and going out.
Thankfully, financial assistance is available from the Inns of Court as well as from BPTC providers. For example:
- BPP Law School offers 10 scholarships of up to £4,000.
- The City Law School offers 10 scholarships for the full course fees of certain courses, including the BPTC.
For more details, visit individual law schools’ websites.
If you are not fortunate enough to secure financial assistance from one of the Inns or your BPTC provider, you may have to consider borrowing money to fund your studies. BPP in conjunction with Future Finance offers a loan exclusively for its BPTC, GDL and LPC students.
As with all forms of debt, think carefully about whether or not you can afford to take out a loan, especially as there may be a delay between completing the BPTC and securing a pupillage or other form of employment.
It may be worth thinking about taking on a temporary job to help you save up for the course fees, or completing the course part-time so you can combine it with paid work.

FAQs
Does HP offer free shipping?
Does HP price match?
Spotted a better price at a rival retailer? The HP sales team will price match an equivalent machine through the official HP Store website. It doesn't have to specifically be n HP model to be eligible for price match - only a machine of comparable specifications. HP defines a comparable PC as one that's manufactured by Dell, Lenovo, Toshiba, Samsung & HP, and that is currently available at a major online retailer.
Does HP offer a military or student discount?
Yes to both! HP offers a 40% sitewide discount for both students and those who are affiliated with the military. These extremely generous discount programs can be accessed on the HP Education store page and the HP Frontline Heroes portal. Note that the education discount applies to both students and teachers and the Frontline discount is available to most key workers (military, healthcare, first responders). All discounts will need relevant identification to prove eligibility (a .edu email, and an ID.me account).
How can I contact HP support?
If you're looking for support or advice regarding an order, you can call the HP sales team directly on 800-565-9917. Alternatively, if you'd prefer to use a live chat or consult self-help resources, you can check out the HP contact page. For help or support with an existing HP product, you can contact HP tech support and check out a number of helpful online resources on their website.
What is HP's return policy?
HP offers a 30-day return period for most products purchased directly from HP, including laptops, desktops, printers, and accessories. The 30-day return period starts from the date of shipment or pickup, depending on the delivery method. There are a few exceptions to be aware of such as the product must be returned in its original packaging, with all the accessories, documentation, and parts that came with it. Products that have been opened or used may be subject to a restocking fee. Customized products, such as laptops with custom configurations, may not be eligible for return unless they are defective. HP also offers a separate return policy for products purchased through the HP Marketplace, which is a platform for third-party sellers. The return policy for Marketplace products may vary depending on the seller.
Hints and tips
Wait for an HP sale: Quite possibly the most valuable tip regardless of which store you're shopping at - generally speaking you'll get the best deals and coupon codes around big retail events. The most obvious call-out here is Black Friday in November, but you'll also find smaller (but still great) sales around national holidays like Presidents' Day, Labor Day, and Memorial Day. HP usually participates in retail events so it's a great idea to hold off and see what crops up if you're relatively close to the next event.
Sign up for the HP newsletter: This is a minor tip, but a handy little way to save a bit of cash on your next offer. Navigate to the HP website to sign up to the newsletter. Not only will you be the first to know about big retail events like the ones mentioned above, but HP will also knock $10 off your next order of $60 or more in value.
Join HP rewards: HP operates a customer reward scheme that could see you earning up to 3% back from your purchases. You can sign up for free to make sure you're earning points from the offset. While this tip isn't so handy for saving on your first order, it could be a great way to save a few bucks down the line - on replacement ink packs or computing accessories, for example.
Sign up for HP instant ink: The instant ink subscription lets you save up to 50% on ink and plans start at just $0.99, so you'll never have to worry about buying ink again. Sign up today to receive $10 in credit.
