Frequently Asked Scheduling Questions

Which classrooms are controlled by the Registrar? What are their attributes?  Room Inventory lists physical and media attributes for each room  The registrar controls most rooms from 8am through 10pm (with limited control of Bren Hall 1414, Campbell Hall, Lotte Lehman Hall, and the IV Theaters)  Contact Instructional Resources at extension 3549 to coordinate the use of media features Other Campus Space  Departments must maintain their own schedule for department rooms  Use the Curriculum Audit report (included in Proof Two and Three) to check for conflicts in department rooms  The Office of the Registrar cannot verify that department rooms or computer labs are available

What time blocks can I use for MW courses?  MW time blocks begin and end on same times as TR courses MWF MW or TR 8:00am-8:50am8:00am-9:15am 9:00am-9:50am9:30am-10:45am 10:00am-10:50am11:00am-12:15pm 11:00am-11:50am12:30pm-1:45pm 12:00pm-12:50pm2:00pm-3:15pm 1:00pm-1:50pm3:30pm-4:45pm etc…5:00pm-6:15pm

What is 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

Why doesn’t an instructor’s name appear on the proof/in STAR? Instructors names written on the proof must reflect their STAR Instructor ID Instructors names written on the proof must reflect their STAR Instructor ID I couldn’t read your handwriting I couldn’t read your handwriting

Why does STAR list an “incorrect” title code? Common explanations…  Appointment has been entered into PPS but the upload hasn’t happened yet  Summer appointment hasn’t been entered into PPS yet  There are two title codes in PPS. If PPS lists more than one title code, the highest level will be in STAR EX; Associate vs. TA

Why didn’t I receive the number of approval codes I requested? Pass One and Two Each course will be allowed approval codes up to 20% of the max capacity of the room they are assigned. For courses with secondaries, this 20% will be based off of the max capacity of the room assigned to the lecture and evenly distributed across the secondaries. EX; If PHIL 100A is assigned to Buchanan 1930 (max 100), only a total of 20 approval codes total will be allowed during pass 1 and 2 (20% of the max capacity of Buchanan 1930 is 20). These 20 approval codes will then be distributed evenly across the four secondaries. Requested Approval Codes Approval Codes Created Requested Approval Codes Approval Codes Created PHIL 100A 0100 n/a (required secondaries) 20 total PHIL 100A PHIL 100A PHIL 100A PHIL 100A

When do I need an SAF? Use an SAF when…  Adding courses/sections  Canceling courses/sections …and when changing…  Day or time in any room  Registration restrictions  Registrar controlled rooms Don’t need an SAF when changing…  Instructors  Between two department controlled rooms at the same day and time  Enrollment maxes (as long as a new registrar controlled classroom isn’t needed) SAFs are required once student registration has started
