Fall 2023 general purpose classroom assignments

We have assigned the majority of fall 2023 classes into General Purpose Classrooms (GPCs) as needed. While OCM is still working to assign classrooms, you can review room assignments for fall 2023 on the Class Schedule.

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.

If any of the above information needs to be changed after students have registered, email ocmsched@umn.edu to determine if changes may still be made.

Class Schedule Summary report: New search field

The class schedule summary report allows you to see all classes that rolled forward from a previous like term (e.g. fall to fall or spring to spring). This report has class section information for each scheduled class, which makes it especially useful for schedulers. Because schedulers can review it following the roll forward, the report can help them make decisions about what should and should not be offered for an upcoming semester.

Previously, you would run this report by entering the term and institution, then either Subject or Acad Org. Now, you’ll also be able to run this report by an academic group (college) or instructor per term.

To find this report:

1. Go to MyU > Key Links > Reporting Center > Student Services > Course Scheduling > Class Schedule Summary.
2. Use the blue “i” icon next to the report link for additional information.

Spring 2023 (1233) classroom scheduling is in progress

CCS is closed to make general-purpose classroom assignments for spring 2023 classes. CCS will open again on August 2, 2022 to make emergent changes to spring 2023 classes before registration begins.

Review room assignments for fall (1229)

While OCM is still working to assign classrooms for all classes, most room assignments for fall 2022 are available on the Class Schedule.

• The Office of Classroom Management (OCM) only finds general-purpose classrooms for classes with a blank Facility ID in CCS. If the Facility ID field is populated (including a virtual space such as ROOM000TBA), OCM is not actively looking for a classroom for your class.
• Changes to room assignments do not generate automated emails. If you change a classroom assignment, you must notify instructors and students directly.
• Room assignments are subject to change prior to the start of the term. While this usually only impacts a small number of classes, instructors should be encouraged to verify their classroom assignments before the first class meeting.
• If you are planning to cancel any classes for the fall, please do so as soon as you know they will no longer be offered. If students are enrolled, email the students to let them know and contact ocmsched@umn.edu to cancel the class. If there are no students enrolled in the class, you can cancel classes directly in CCS.

Scheduling update: May/summer 2012 (1125) scheduling continues

The May/summer session schedule is now posted to the Class Schedule.
All May/summer 2012 general purpose classroom assignments have been
made. Please confirm that all of your class offerings are accurate and
that sections requiring a classroom have a room assignment. During ECS
period 3, we will continue to look for rooms for classes added to the
schedule.

Scheduling update: One month left to schedule your fall 2012 (1129) classes

The last day of ECS period 1 for fall 2012 is February 29, 2012. Remember to delete
any class sections in ECS that have rolled forward but will not be
taking place during either term. You can delete courses/sections in ECS
by clicking on the minus (-) button on the Basic Data panel of
