Syllabus: Working with Contacts in the Contact Information Section

The Contact Information section on the syllabus is different from most others because it doesn't include an open text box in which you enter information. Instead, you provide individual contacts arranged into individual contact groups.

Important: In order to add someone as a contact, they have to be added to a contact group. Start with your contact groups (Faculty, TAs, Support Staff), and then add in individual contacts.
