Question

How can I obtain a syllabus for a class at Grand Rapids Community College (GRCC)?

Environment

• Academic Departments
• GRCC Academic Catalog

Answer

The process for obtaining a syllabus depends on whether you are a current/former student or a prospective student looking for course details.

For Current or Former Students

If you need a syllabus for a course you have already completed (for example, to provide to another institution for transfer credit):

• Contact the Academic Department: Reach out to the support professional for the department that offered the course. Email is the preferred method of contact.
• Locate Contact Info: Names, phone numbers, and email addresses can be found on the Academic and Student Affairs (ASA) Directory page (opens in a new window).
• Provide Required Details: In your request, please include:
  • Your full name and GRCC Student ID number.
  • The specific course number (e.g., EN 101).
  • The specific semester and year the course was taken.

For Prospective Students

If you are looking for general course requirements or a curriculum outline before enrolling, you can access the Curriculum Database:

1. Visit the GRCC Catalog (opens in a new window).
2. Select the GRCC Curriculum Database from the drop-down menu in the upper right corner.
3. Select Courses from the navigation menu on the left.
4. Use the Course Filter to find your specific class.
5. Click the class title to open the course information.
6. Click the Print icon in the upper right corner of the class details.
7. In the new window that opens, click Print this Page.
8. Change the "Destination" in your print settings to Save as PDF to keep a digital copy.

Note: The document from the catalog is a Course Outline (curriculum). If you require a specific Instructor Syllabus (which includes specific dates and grading policies), please contact the instructor directly. If an instructor has not yet been assigned to a section, check back closer to the start of the semester.
