Fall 2025 final exams

If an in-person or blended class is planning to have an in-person final exam, the Final Exam Request form must be filled out to request a classroom. This same form can also be used to inform us of any final exam changes (date/time or alternate seating). You can submit up to five classroom/change requests per submission.

The list of final exams and common exams that have already been scheduled is available on the Fall 2025 Final Exam and Common Exam Scheduled Rooms spreadsheet.

The deadline to submit these requests for fall 2025 is November 7, 2025.

Spring 2026 (1263)

Collaborative Class Scheduling (CCS) is open for spring 2026 class changes. Queued registration for spring 2026 begins Tuesday, November 11, 2025. To ensure the greatest success for students, please make sure to finalize the following information in the class schedule prior to registration:

• Confirm session dates are set to the correct session. For reference, 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 Coursedog.
• All date, day, time, and instruction mode changes should be made before students register to minimize student conflicts and confusion.

All users who had access in Astra to manage departmentally-owned rooms must complete 25Live training to retain access. You have until September 30, 2025 to complete this online training. We will begin removing access in early October. If you have any questions, email ocmsched@umn.edu.

CCS user workshops

The Scheduling team is conducting monthly user workshops. We hope these workshops will allow us to connect with our users and review topics relevant to our departmental schedulers.

These workshops will be conducted over Zoom on the second Tuesday of the month from 11:00-11:30 a.m. (15-20 minute presentation with time for discussion). To attend a workshop, simply add the class schedule production calendar to your Google Calendar:

• Add to U of M Google calendar
• Add to general Google calendar

A Zoom meeting link and materials will be added to the calendar event closer to the day of the workshop.
