Importing a Syllabus File

If you have created a syllabus outside of Vista, you can import the file and make it available to students.

Note: The file should be in HTML or plain text for the easiest student access. If the file is in a format other than plain text or HTML, students must have the necessary software or viewers to open the file.

Import a syllabus file

From the Syllabus screen, under Select Syllabus Type, select Use File.
Under Select Syllabus, click Browse and locate and select the file. The Syllabus screen updates and the file is displayed.
