How Do Department Administrators Access and Download Syllabi in Simple Syllabus?

Learn how department administrators can access, locate, and download completed syllabi in Simple Syllabus using reporting tools and filters.

Department administrators who have been granted access to Simple Syllabus can view and download syllabi for courses within their assigned departments. Simple Syllabus includes reporting tools that allow you to locate syllabi by academic quarter, completion status, and other filters.

Step 1: Log In to Simple Syllabus

1. Go to Shoreline College's Simple Syllabus login page.

2. Log in using the same username and password you use for Canvas.

3. Once logged in, you should have access to the reporting features associated with your assigned department.

Note: Department administrator access must be configured in Simple Syllabus. If you are unable to log in or cannot access your department's reports, contact eLearning Support to verify your permissions.

We recommend bookmarking the Simple Syllabus login page for future use.

Step 2: Access the Reports

Once logged in, navigate to the Reports area in Simple Syllabus.

Follow the Syllabus Collection Report instructions to locate the appropriate reporting page and learn how to generate and download syllabi for your department.

Step 3: Filter Your Syllabi

Before generating your report, make sure to narrow your results. Without the appropriate filters, your report may include thousands of records, including syllabi that have not been completed.

Two filters are particularly important:

Term

• Select the academic quarter for which you need syllabi.

• For example, select Spring 2026 if you want syllabi from that quarter.

Statuses

• Select Completed.

• This limits the report to syllabi that faculty have completed and submitted for student viewing.

You can also use additional filters, such as Subject, Organization, or Instructor, to further narrow your results.

Step 4: Generate and Download Your Report

1. Confirm that you have selected the correct Term.

2. Confirm that Statuses is set to Completed.

3. Scroll down to the bottom of the report options.

4. Select Generate.

5. Follow the prompts to download the resulting file.

Your report will include completed syllabi for the selected academic quarter, within the departments and other filters you have access to.
