Fall 2025 final exams

If an in-person or blended class plans 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. With spring registration approaching, it is imperative to make final changes to classes. 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. Sessions cannot be altered once students are enrolled.
• If choosing a set number of credits for a variable credit class, make those changes before students register by emailing ocmsched@umn.edu. After financial aid has been disbursed, the number of credits for a class cannot be altered.
• Confirm grading basis. If changes need to be made, submit changes through Coursedog. After financial aid has been disbursed, the grading basis for a class cannot be altered.
• All date, day, time, and instruction mode changes should be made before students register to minimize student conflicts and confusion. 

Spring 2026 - Variable credit email

We will be identifying all classes with variable credits and sending emails to schedulers, reminding them that if they need to change the number of credits for a class from a variable number to a set number, they need to email ocmsched@umn.edu. 

Summer 2026 (1265) CCS is open

CCS is open for the initial build of the 2026 May/summer semester (1265). Please put classes in a session that most closely matches the class dates. Review historical classes to make sure they are still the right fit. See session dates on the OCM website.

The following resources for scheduling classes are available:

• May/Summer scheduling guide
• CCS Help Guides
• CCS production calendar
• Class schedule production guidelines

25Live updates

• Departmental room managers are now able to remove LAB-TBA, Room-TBA, and NOROOMREQ from classes in 25Live. Removing rooms is important when adding a departmental space, as only one will appear in PeopleSoft, which informs the students' schedules.
• General purpose classrooms per bank are now a public search option.
• Options include:
• General Purpose classrooms - East Bank
• General Purpose classrooms - St. Paul
• General Purpose classrooms - West Bank

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. 

Upcoming topics

• October 14 - CCS updates you need help with and why!
• November 11 - Class Permissions

If there is an upcoming topic you would like to discuss, please feel free to send your questions/concerns to ocmsched@umn.edu. Also, if there is a topic you would like to discuss in future workshops, please let us know.
