Every regular term of the academic year the University of Oregon publishes a course resource page, which includes some ready-made materials to launch courses. Part of this is a “starter syllabus” which has a general outline plus a lot of sample language folks can use when preparing a syllabus.
The University Policy section of the starter syllabus, starting on page 13, has a few different examples of language for:
-
Access and Accommodations
