Free tool
Every required syllabus element, checked in seconds
Program chairs review syllabi against a checklist; instructors find out about the missing accommodations statement after submission. Upload a syllabus and get a consistent report on ten commonly required elements: what's present, what's weak, and what's missing, with the evidence quoted.
How it works
Step 1
Upload the syllabus
PDF, Word document, or pasted text.
Step 2
Get the checklist report
Ten elements checked the same way every time: contact info, grading policy, late work, attendance, academic integrity, AI policy, accommodations, learning outcomes, required materials, and schedule.
Step 3
Fix the gaps
Each item shows present, weak, or missing, with a note and a quoted fragment as evidence, so you know exactly what to add.
Why instructors use it
- The same checklist every time, useful for departments reviewing many syllabi
- Evidence quotes show where each element was found
- Catches the classics: missing AI policy, vague late-work rules, absent accommodations statement
Common questions
Which elements does the syllabus checker look for?
Contact information, grading policy, late-work policy, attendance policy, academic integrity, AI policy, accommodations statement, learning outcomes, required materials, and the course schedule.
Can it check against my institution's specific requirements?
The free tool uses a general higher-ed checklist. Institution-specific checklists and program-wide review are part of the CourseOps platform for institutions.
Is the syllabus stored?
No. It is read once for the report and discarded. Nothing is stored or used for training.
The tools are the free part. MyTA is the rest.
MyTA lives inside your LMS and handles the operational work around these documents: grading against your rubric, drafting replies, tracking engagement, keeping your course compliant.
