If you are a new faculty member, haven’t taught in a while, or just want to make sure you have everything covered, please look over the New Faculty Checklist.
► Faculty Profile on the iSchool website
Faculty are encouraged to create a profile on the iSchool website. Your online profile is a place to highlight experience and interests. Profiles are visible from the Faculty Directory and from the Class Schedules.
To create or update an online profile:
- Log into my.ischool by clicking the “login” button in the top right corner of any page on the iSchool website
- Click on your name that now appears in the top right corner where the login button was previously
- Click “Edit My Profile”
- Complete the series of online forms and click “save profile”
If you create a new profile, an administrator must add you to the faculty directory. There is usually 24-hour turnaround time to add the profile to the proper directory. If you do not see your profile in the directory, please report the error.
► Upload Syllabus
It is required that all instructors upload a syllabus to the iSchool my.iSchool dashboard on the iSchool website three weeks prior to the beginning of each semester.
► Syracuse University NetID
