New Faculty Orientation Resources
Please review the New Faculty Resources page for information to help you get started with UAA teaching, research, and career
path-specific information for adjuncts and tenure-track professors. In addition, we offer several programs each year to help new instructors find their path at UAA:
- New Faculty Orientation for regular and term faculty (start of Fall semester)
- Headwaters for new and junior faculty (ongoing)
- Evening adjunct orientation at each Teaching Academy and Adjunct U topical sessions that address common questions adjuncts have when running
their courses
Syllabus Guide
Please review the Syllabus Guide for information on what we recommend including in your syllabus and how to use it
effectively.
The UAA Catalog states, "Students should receive a syllabus at the beginning of each course that describes
the course content, policies within the course, procedures that govern the delivery
of the course, the learning outcomes and the grading system used."
Share your syllabus with students before or at the first class meeting and post it online
in Blackboard. Be sure to include the student learning outcomes from the official
course description.
Selecting and Assigning Course Materials
Our Course Materials page provides a variety of resources for researching, selecting, and adopting textbooks
and other materials for your course. Textbook adoptions are due the semester before the course is taught so students can see costs when they register. Anchorage campus
instructors should check UAA’s online bookstore for information on this process. If you teach for a community campus, please work
with your local university bookstore.
