 How to Customize the Syllabus Template for your Course

If you import the template into an existing course, the content will not replace your existing content, but will be added. We recommend using this template only in a blank course shell.

To Import the Template...

1. Click on the Commons button in the Global Navigation bar (left side).
2. Type "Cal Poly Canvas Template" in the Search box (top left). OR "Cal Poly" to see all the template options we offer.
3. Click on the Cal Poly Canvas Template link within the Course Card. 
4. Click on the Import/Download button on the right. 
5. The Import/Download window will appear from the right. Choose the name of the course you want to import the Template. 
   NOTE: Do not choose ALL. This will import into all courses you are teaching. 
6. Click on the Import into Course button. 
   Wait while the content is being imported. It can take a little while before you can start working on the course. 

WARNING: After you import a commons course, make sure to change your Visibility options is Course.
