SB 7044, also known as the Student Success Act, is a bill that was recently passed by the Florida legislature. This bill requires all public colleges and universities in Florida to provide students with a course syllabus at the beginning of each semester.

The goal of SB 7044 is to increase transparency and help students be more successful in their courses. Many students find it difficult to keep track of all the information covered in their classes, and a syllabus can help them stay organized and on top of their work. In addition, having access to a syllabus can also help students plan ahead for exams and papers.

In the state of Florida, all public school teachers are required by law to post their course syllabi in a conspicuous place within the classroom and on their school websites. The posting of syllabi is mandated by Section 1006.28, Florida Statutes (F.S.), and is further clarified in Rule 6A-1.09011, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.). These requirements were put into effect in order to ensure that parents, guardians, and students have access to important information regarding the expectations and objectives for each course.
