Spring 2023 classroom assignments (1233)

Room assignments for spring 2023 (1233) are now available on the Class Schedule. We have less than 1% left to assign for spring 2023.

Please note the following:

• If you notice a class without a room assignment, please notify ocmsched@umn.edu.
• Remind instructors to verify their classroom assignment before the first class, as room assignments are subject to change prior to the start of the term.

Spring 2023 class cancellations

If you need to cancel a class and students are enrolled or if you cancel a class because it is not being offered, please do the following:

Canceling a class with low enrollment:

1. Change the Class Status to “Stop Further Enrollment”
   (on the Enrollment Control tab of UM CCS Maintain Sched of Class page).
2. Notify all enrolled students directly and offer alternate options.
3. Email ocmsched@umn.edu to process your cancellation (and drop students).
   Note: If your college requires collegiate approval for cancellation with low enrollment, also refer to your college procedures.

Canceling a class with zero enrollment:

1. Change the Class Status to “Canceled Section”
   (on the Enrollment Control tab of UM CCS Maintain Sched of Class page).

Make final changes to spring 2023 classes by Monday, January 9

It is imperative to make final changes to spring classes as soon as possible, but no later than Monday, January 9, 2023. Late class changes can negatively impact students' financial aid eligibility, retention, and degree progress. It is the department’s responsibility to make changes prior to this deadline.

After January 9, Academic Support Resources (ASR) will formally review each class change requested. Many changes are not directly accommodated after students are enrolled and financial aid has been disbursed.

Reserve Capacity seats released January 13 for spring 2023

If you use a reserve capacity for a class, remember ASR will release all reserved seats on the Friday before the first day of class for each semester. For the spring 2023 semester, all reserved seats will be released on January 13. You can review the guidelines for reserved seats on the OCM website. 

Waitlists for spring 2023

As a reminder, the auto enroll from waitlist process will run for the last time the day before a session begins, and the waitlists will be deleted the first day of the session. For spring, the auto enroll process will run for the final time on January 16, 2023 for all regular sessions and 1st half of term classes. The waitlists will be deleted on January 17, 2023.

If you wish to keep a record of who was on the waitlist for a class, and in what order, we suggest saving a copy of the list prior to its deletion. Also, if you want those formally waitlisted students to be able to register before other students, add departmental or instructor consent to that class section. Students would need to obtain a permission number before they register, and those permissions could be given to the students on the waitlist first.

May/summer 2023 CCS closes December 12

At the end of day on December 11, we will close CCS to make central room assignments for May/summer 2023 classes. Please make sure to update all class sections in CSS by the end of day December 11, 2022.
