Classroom space will continue to be very tight through summer 2017 during the Tate Laboratory of Physics renovation.
OCM appreciates the efforts that departments have already made to coordinate efforts and be flexible with times and days that classes meet to ensure that all classes have a place to meet. We will continue to reach out to departments to explore alternate days and times during the busiest times on campus (9:45 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.) if classrooms are not available as we work to place fall 2016 classes.
Per Vice Provost and Dean of Undergraduate Education Robert McMaster’s November 18,2014 memo, we will continue to require all departments to make adjustments to their class schedules by:
- distributing classes across both the day and the week
- making realistic enrollment projections
- utilizing departmental space whenever possible
- using standard class times
- meeting scheduling production calendar deadlines
If you have questions about space utilization, potential alternative days and times to offer a class, or have a departmental space you would like to offer to for other departments to use during the renovation, please email ocmsched@umn.edu.
