May/summer 2023 updates
Please contact ocmsched@umn.edu about May/summer classes if:
A class does not have a room assignment and needs one.
A class with enrollment needs to be canceled.
- A variable credit class needs to make changes to the number of credits.After financial aid has been disbursed, the number of credits for a class cannot be altered.
Fall 2023 classroom scheduling in progress
At this time, we are still working on getting classrooms assigned for fall. However, around 5% of classes still need classrooms. Classroom availability for large lecture halls is very limited. We may not be able to accommodate enrollment capacity increases or meeting pattern changes for certain times of the day. Please check with ocmsched@umn.edu prior to making any large changes.
As a reminder, OCM only works to find general-purpose classrooms for classes that are lecture or discussion sections with a blank Facility ID in CCS. If a class is typically held in a specific departmentally owned classroom, please assign those classrooms to those classes.
If the Facility ID field is populated, OCM will not actively look for a classroom for your class. This includes populating it with a virtual space, such as:
ROOM000TBA (room to be assigned) - the CCS scheduler will be adding a departmental or other room to a class section or meeting pattern.
NORMREQD (no room required) - no room is required for the class section and/or meeting pattern.
ONLINEONLY (online only) - the class section or meeting pattern of the class will be conducted completely online, so no classroom is needed.
REMOTE (remote instruction) - the class section or meeting pattern of the class will be conducted remotely, so no classroom is needed.
AHC000TBA (AHC room to be assigned) - no GPC is needed.
LAB000TBA (lab section - room to be assigned) - no GPC is needed.
NO000PRINT - the class section has the “schedule print” box unchecked.
If a class has one of these virtual rooms assigned and it now needs a classroom instead, please contact ocmsched@umn.edu.
All room assignments are subject to change prior to the start of the term. While this usually affects only a small number of classes, we encourage departments and instructors to verify their classroom assignments before the first class meeting.
Fall 2023 class schedule changes
Queued registration for fall 2023 begins Thursday, April 13, 2023. To ensure students have the greatest success, please make sure to finalize the following information in the class schedule prior to registration:
Confirm that session dates are set to the most reflective session.
For reference, you can view session dates by term.
If choosing a set number of credits for a variable credit class, make those changes before students register by emailing ocmsched@umn.edu.
Confirm grading basis. If changes need to be made, submit changes through ECAS.
All date, day, and time changes should be made before students register to minimize student conflicts.
Auto Enroll from Waitlist checkbox in CCS
As a reminder, the Auto Enroll from Waitlist checkbox must be checked on both the enrollment and non-enrollment sections of your class for it to be included in the Auto Enroll from Waitlist process, which runs nightly after registration begins.
CCS schedulers can find this checkbox on the UM CCS Maintain Schedule of Classes page > Enrollment Control tab.
The checked box serves the following two functions:
Triggers the Auto Enroll from Waitlist process if a seat is available.
Gives priority to students on the waitlist, so open seats are not taken by other students (before Auto Enroll from Waitlist runs).
CCS User Workshop
CCS user workshops will be conducted over Zoom on the second Tuesday of the month from 11:00 to 11:30 a.m. (15-20 minute presentation with time for discussion). A Zoom meeting link and agenda will be added to the calendar event closer to the day of the workshop. Hope to see you there!
Upcoming topics:
April 11 - Part 2 of Downstream effect of some CCS fields and Reserved Capacity
May 9 - Classroom Technology
To attend a workshop, simply add the class schedule production calendar to your Google calendar. No need to RSVP.
If there is a specific topic you would like discussed in future workshops, please email ocmsched@umn.edu.
