Student Learning Outcomes
Student Learning Outomes (SLOs) are imported automatically from CIM when available.- Faculty may submit and publish a Simple Syllabus even if SLOs are not currently loading from CIM.
- Missing SLOs does not prevent submission of the syllabus.
- When SLOs are not visible, instructors should manually enter them in the Course Expectations section (or a similar section) to provide students access to this information for Fall 2026.
- Approved SLOs added to CIM later will automatically load into Simple Syllabus.
- Faculty are encouraged to complete their syllabi without waiting for their SLOs to be approved in CIM.
- Once CIM鈥慺ed SLOs are available, instructors may review and republish the syllabus as needed, without rebuilding it from scratch.

Quick CIM-SLOs Tips
- Complete and publish the syllabus without delay.
- Manually enter SLOs as a temporary measure, if necessary.
- Update the syllabus later once CIM and Simple Syllabus are fully synchronized.
- When SLOs have not been entered into CIM, Simple Syllabus continues to pull from the system as designed,听but the SLOs are not yet available in the system.
- For SLOs not yet approved,听 they will automatically populate in Simple Syllabus once approved in Fall 2026, and any temporary manually entered outcomes can be deleted.
- Complete and submit the syllabus now so it is ready for the first day of Fall 2026;
content may be updated later as needed, and any edits will save over the previous
version.
