Office of the Provost - Academic resources for teaching and curriculum planning, spring 2023

Dear colleagues,

Welcome to the spring semester. I’m writing to provide you with the latest edition of Academic Instruction Guidance, January 6, 2023 (download PDF). This guidance will help you finish planning the classes you’ll be teaching this spring and will help with curriculum planning for future semesters. It includes the following content:

  • Spring 2023 course planning reminders
  • Spring 2023 teaching and advising information and resources
  • Curriculum planning and teaching assignments for summer 2023 and beyond
  • COVID-19 information and how to manage medical absences from class

I’d especially like to draw your attention to these items, detailed further in the Academic Instruction Guidance:

Required syllabus statements for spring 2023
Be sure to provide your students with this accessible electronic version of the required syllabus statements and note the final exam policy, which stipulates that no class session can be held and no graded work can be due on Reading Day.

Center for Teaching and Learning
Contact the Center for Teaching & Learning for information on free consultations, teaching resources, programs, seminars, workshops, and other events.to receive CTL's monthly newsletter, with teaching strategies and resources.

Course Alerts
Use the course alert process to help us improve retention and graduation rates for our undergraduate students. When instructors submit an alert well before the drop deadline, students have a much better chance to turn around their academic performance and stay enrolled in the class.

All international travel by/with students that is Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder-sponsored, affiliated, funded, or related to a Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder activity/program is subject to the Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder Policy on Student International Travel and Programs.

Buff Info
Contact the Buff Info team for answers to questions about academic support, athletics, mental health and well-being, and more.

I appreciate your dedication and commitment to Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder’s educational mission, and I wish you the best for a successful start of classes. Please feel free to email me directly with any questions you may have. 

Sincerely,

Katherine
