Meeting Florida SB 7044 Transparency Requirements with CourseLeaf SYL

Florida Senate Bill 7044 (SB 7044) requires public colleges and universities to publish detailed course information online in a clear and accessible format. This includes making course syllabi publicly available, with information such as course descriptions, objectives, required textbooks, grading policies, and instructor credentials.

For registrars, this legislation creates both a challenge and an opportunity: how to meet state mandates efficiently while also improving the student experience.

What Florida SB 7044 Requires

Under SB 7044, institutions must:

• Publish course syllabi online in a student- and public-friendly format.
• Ensure consistency and accuracy of syllabus content across sections.
• ​Provide transparent information to support student decision-making and transfer.

Non-compliance can not only impact accreditation and reporting but also undermine student trust in the institution’s transparency.
