Creating your Banner Syllabus
Every semester faculty members will be required to create a syllabus in Banner/Bronco Web
for each course section they are instructing. For consistency, each syllabus must be in the same
layout and meet certain formatting standards. We have designed a template and step by step
directions to make this process easier for faculty members.
Once you learn the basics of how to use the template and what the outcome needs to look like, your
workflow is up to you. It may be easiest to create the syllabus for each section and save each as the
CRN then go back and transfer the information to Bronco Web. If you are teaching multiple sections of
the same class it may be easier for you to create one syllabus in the template for the class and transfer it
into Bronco Web as you go, changing the first region (specifically class hours and location) to reflect
the information for each of your course sections.
PART 1. Creating your syllabus in Word
1. Close all open windows and programs (this is not required but makes it easier)
2. Open the Microsoft Word file ‘Uniform Syllabus Template 52008' in Word 2003.
Note: you need Word 2003
3. Click ‘Enable Macros’ on the dialogue box that
appears (at right)
Note: If you do not receive this security warning
when you open the file…

Click ‘Tools’

Point to ‘Macro’

Click ‘Security’

Select ‘Medium’
Note: If you are using Office 2007, you will need to click ‘Options’ on the Security Warning, Select
‘Enable this content’ and click ‘OK’
There are three separate areas that you will have to enter data into. An example of area one is below.
4. One at a time, delete the ‘replace’ on each line and type in the appropriate syllabus information
for your class (you can double click on the word ‘replace’ to select it).
5. You can cut and paste each field from an existing Microsoft Word file. To do this;

Open your Word file

Drag over the text you
want to copy and click the
copy icon

Go back to Uniform Syllabus
Template, double click on
‘replace’ and click on the
paste icon
AREA 1
NOTES:
 If there is no information for a
heading, delete the word ‘replace’
and leave blank
 To start a new line within the same
heading press ‘F10’
 Make sure all of the ‘replace’ fields
have been filled in or removed!

9. Click ‘File’ (on the Word menu bar at the top of the window)
10. Click ‘Save As’
Check the ‘Save as:’ location at the top to make sure it is the location where you want your
syllabus saved.
You may want to create a syllabus folder to put all your syllabus files in. To Create a new
folder in the My Documents folder…
1. Select ‘My Documents’
2. Click the ‘Create New Folder’ icon
3. Name the folder (The text should already be selected, type the name. Ex. Syllabus)
4. Click OK
11. Name your file (EX. Fall2007CNST260) in the ‘File Name’ box
12. Click ‘Save’
Since you may have more than one course, you will need to repeat this procedure for each
course. Naming the file after the semester and course URL may be a good choice. Example:
Fall 2007 CNST260)
DO NOT do a ‘Save’, you will ruin the blank file.
