Scheduling policy basics

Class scheduling in ECS is in full swing for fall 2014 and spring 2015. Remember to ensure your classes are distributed across both the day and the week.

If you would like a refresher on the class scheduling policy, refer to the class scheduling policy summary and FAQ. The policy was developed using the principle of the fair-use of resources. It aims to:

  • reduce classroom demand for certain days and times
  • increase scheduling flexibility for departments
  • ensure reasonable class access for students

There is no requirement to schedule classes at a particular time, although it is required that classes are evenly distributed throughout the day and week.

The Class Scheduling Distribution Summary illustrates the class demand of a department or college. The Liberal Education Distribution Summary illustrates the distribution of classes meeting one or more liberal education requirements.
