Rethinking College Course Policies

By Rebecca Campbell

This guidebook offers a practical framework for designing course policies rooted in three core pedagogical values: course integrity, student learning, and inclusivity. Each chapter explores common policy decisions, from attendance and deadlines to grading and enrollment, providing research-based insights and reflective templates to guide context-specific choices. Rather than prescribing best practices, this book honors educators' expertise and invites them to critically examine how everyday policy moments can be leveraged to foster engagement, deepen learning, and broaden participation. Whether tasked with designing new policies or navigating institutional constraints, this framework empowers instructors to translate pedagogical values into intentional, effective practice.
