Spring 2024 (1243) classroom assignments

Room assignments for spring 2024 (1243) are now available on the Class Schedule. We have about 1% left to assign for Spring 2024. 

Please note the following:

• If you notice a class without a room assignment, please notify ocmsched@umn.edu.
• If you need assistance adding a departmental space to a class, email 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.
