This article is for faculty and staff who wish to add or adjust their syllabus in Ultra courses.

# **Overview**

When instructors copy over course material from a previous semester, the course syllabus file/link is a course item which must be updated prior to the start of the term.  Typically the course syllabus is posted in the HuskyCT course as either:

- An uploaded file (pdf or docx)
- A web link to view-only OneDrive shared document

The instructions below explain how to add and update each type.
