General Assignment Rooms  Updated quarterly  Lists physical and media attributes for each room Overhead projectors are standard in every general assignment classroom  Contact Instructional Resources at extension 3549 to coordinate the use of media features  The registrar controls most rooms from 8am through 10pm  The registrar has limited control of Bren Hall 1414, Campbell Hall, Lotte Lehman Hall, and the IV Theaters New for Spring 2009  The Arts building is offline for renovations from Spring 2009 through the school year  The second floor of Girvetz is now equipped with computer network

Department Controlled Rooms  Departments must maintain their own schedule for department rooms  The Office of the Registrar cannot verify that department rooms are available  Use the Curriculum Audit report (included in Proof Two and Three) to check for conflicts in department rooms  Same rules apply to computer labs

Schedule Proofs

Scheduling Cycle Overview Proof One  An exact copy of the last “like” quarter  Listed days, times and rooms are not assignments Proof Two  A reflection of the changes indicated on Proof One Exceptions – Courses without approved MCAs and instructors not on your table  Listed days, times and rooms are not assignments Proof Three  Updated schedule based on changes from Proof Two  Listed days, times and rooms are assignments for primaries only

Schedule25  Program used to assist the in assigning classrooms  Run twice… 1. After Proof Two to assign primaries 2. After Proof Three to assign secondaries  Assigns rooms… Within the general assignment room pool Primarily by enrollment max and requested media  Maximizes utilization of classroom space Goal is to assign to each course to the classroom that best utilizes the rooms number of seats and media/physical features

Prioritization of Courses 1 st Priority Courses in standard time blocks 2 nd Priority Courses in non-standard time blocks outside of prime time 3 rd Priority Courses in non-standard time blocks in prime time  All departments are equal  While Schedule25 is utilized to assign rooms, a lot of time and effort is taken by hand to finalize room assignments

Standard Days and Times Three Days a Week  MWF for 50 minutes starting on the hour Two Days a Week  MW or TR for 75 minutes starting every 90 minutes One Day a Week Primaries  Will be scheduled at 8:00am or after 3:30pm, and after courses following standard time blocks have been assigned  Impacted hours are 9am-5pm Two days a week slots are particularly impacted  Non-standard days and times cannot always be scheduled, and all first requests cannot be filled. Please have other choices ready.

Media Features  Don’t request more than needed for a course. List only the media that is required for the course.  Be specific. Rather than listing “AV media” or “digital media”, use the specific media abbreviations.

Adding Courses Use the supplemental proof sheet to add courses. Do not add courses on the printed proof. Do not cross out course numbers and replace with a new number.  Proof are hand entered  Supplemental proof sheets make information organized and understandable  Courses do not need to be added in numerical order as the system will reorganize them once entered  We cannot reuse enrollment codes

Delayed Sectioning  Indicate on Proofs with “Delayed Sectioning: I”  There will only be one enrollment code on Proof and on GOLD  Students enroll with this generic enrollment code which prompts them to then select an instructor, using the instructor’s two digit instructor code  A new section is then created for this instructor and the student is enrolled  There is never enrollment in the first primary

Instructor Codes

Tips for Completing Proofs  Be neat and clear – eliminate the risk of guessing  Make changes in red pen only  List specific days/times and max enrollments. Courses without this information will not be placed.  Always indicate if secondaries are required or not  Instructors names must reflect names in STAR Proof One and Two  If the max enrollment is changed to a number higher than that allowed in the requested room, the room will be deleted Proof Three  Any day/time changes made to courses in registrar controlled rooms will not be honored All Proofs  If there is not a day or time listed, the day will be indicated as Monday as to ensure the courses inclusion when running reports

Curriculum Audit  Included in Proofs Two and Three  Lists unusual situations that might indicate errors Classes in department controlled rooms Concurrent courses with time conflicts Classes less than 50 mins or longer than 4 hours Maximum enrollments set at zero Maximum enrollment exceeds preferred room capacity Secondary is not required Etc…
