Scheduling Classes

The colleges are notified when the Schedule of Classes has been copied from one semester to the next so they can begin making updates for the new term. Instructions and deadlines for completing changes are included in the notification, or "Call for Classes". The goal is to have the schedule of classes available for students use 4 to 6 weeks prior to the Advance Registration period for the term.

  • As an aid to complying with ACT 1014 (Eight Semester Degree Completion Program), catalog term designations are now being enforced.
  • The March 31, 1989 memorandum from Dr. Pederson to the Deans states that if a class requires a significant purchase of supplies, inordinate time commitments or unusual time requirements, then these must be listed in the Schedule of Classes. Please include this information in the Class Notes section to appear in the details of the Schedule of Classes.

Official Class Period Times

Please note that classes must use the standard class period times, as defined in the Academic Policy Series 1200.30, unless an exception has been approved by the Registrar’s Office. Unless otherwise instructed, exceptions may be requested by completing and submitting the Official Class Times Exceptions form. (Class sections that will meet in special purpose spaces or laboratory facilities do not require approval for official class time exceptions.) It is good practice to schedule classes according to the Official Class Times policy so that students encounter fewer scheduling conflicts and the impact on efficient utilization of classroom space is minimized.

Scheduling Classes Approved for Course Topic/Title

Classes that are approved for Course Topics (special topics, seminars) must list a topic for each section of the class being offered. Upon request, new topics are added to the Course Catalog by the Office of the Registrar.

Cancelling a Scheduled Class

Scheduled class sections without enrollment may be deleted without Registrar’s approval. Cancelling a scheduled class with enrollment is a process that includes notifying the enrolled students of the cancellation, and a workflow that requires Registrar’s Office approval.
