Sample Syllabus Language for Classroom Behavioral Expectations

 

We encourage you to outline your expectations at the beginning of the semester!

Work with your College and Department Heads to determine how the faculty are expected to address classroom behaviors. One example of language to be included in a syllabus regarding behaviors is provided here (shared with permission from Dr. Bridgeman in the School of Culture, Gender and Social Justice).

Assist your students in understanding appropriate classroom behavior and academic integrity by engaging in the following:

  1. Discuss the importance of academic integrity and clarify university policies regarding academic misconduct prior to any graded assignment as outlined in the University Regulation on Academic Dishonesty (UW Regulation 2-114)

  2. Outline in the syllabus your expectations regarding classroom behaviors and note how they could be addressed by the instructor, including removal from class.

  3. Refer to the Student Code of Conduct and the Community Standards outlined in this document as points of reference for expected behaviors.

  4. Specifically address what student use of electronic devices including laptops and cell phones should or should not be in your classroom.

  5. Clearly identify for students how to professionally communicate – in person or in writing (emails, online course posts, etc) - with their peers and the faculty.

  6. Be consistent in the addressing the behaviors with all students and follow your outlined process to address and/or refer students.

  7. Should student behaviors continue, contact your Department Head for support. The Dean of Students Office can also assist in navigating issues with the Department.
