Syllabi will be made available to students via the College’s web site no later than the first class meeting. The syllabus must list competencies required for the successful completion of the course.

• Faculty members, in collaboration with the Rosh Yeshiva and the Academic Dean, will bear the responsibility for developing, assessing and reassessing all courses.
