Syllabus management for Utah House Bill 261

Utah House Bill 261 identifies significant syllabus requirements for colleges and universities. Concourse Syllabus has everything you need to meet them effortlessly.

Compliance with state legislation begins here.

Since Utah House Bill 621 became law, institutions are looking for the best way to address its many requirements - including making syllabi public. Compliance with new legislation is a challenge for any organization, and addressing new guidelines can seem like an impossible lift while trying to keep everything at your institution moving smoothly. It doesn't have to be - all you need is the right partner. Specifically, the house bill calls for institutions to: “publish the titles and syllabi of all mandatory courses, seminars, classes, workshops, and training sessions on the institution's website in an online database readily searchable by the public.” 

Concourse is the only ed tech company that focuses 100% on syllabi, and we are here to help institutions meet and exceed state legislation with confidence. Our platform, combined with our fantastic team and long experience in the field, will help you reach compliance with ease. Concourse puts the power in your hands to have your institution ready ahead of the upcoming deadline. Concourse provides a public-facing online repository for all of your syllabi that is also easily accessible for your students and faculty. But that's just the start of the benefits you'll get when you join Team Concourse.

Content search for keywords and phrases
Integration with your LMS and SIS

A lighter lift for IT and a smooth transition for faculty
