The university policy sections are preset for accuracy and consistency. If you want to add personal language, you can include customized sections to provide statements that complement these policies, and you can also reorder sections to best align with your communication style and preferences. 

Purdue launched a competitive bid process for a system-wide syllabus management tool in October of 2025. Instructors across all campuses were invited to review recordings and provide feedback on the proposed solutions. This process ensured that the chosen solution meets the diverse instructional needs across Purdue West Lafayette and Indianapolis locations, Purdue Fort Wayne, and Purdue Northwest. 

Yes. Beginning in Fall 2026, all Purdue Fort Wayne credit-bearing courses must have a syllabus submitted through Simple Syllabus through Brightspace to support the following:  

• A universal template for instructors  
• A consistent structure and appearance for students  
• Accreditation and reporting needs  
• Compliance with ADA Title II digital accessibility standards  
• Compliance with Indiana’s House Enrolled Act 1001-2025 

Yes.  Simple Syllabus provides instructors with a built-in accessibility checker that will prompt you to resolve any issues detected prior to publishing your syllabus.   

No. Simple Syllabus will replace the former Course Insights workflow. 

Not at this time.  Any language required by individual units should be communicated directly to instructors.
