Scheduling update: Are others asking about the new class scheduling policy?

If others in your department are curious or confused about the new class scheduling policy, you may direct them to the new class scheduling policy summary and FAQ. The following information might also be helpful to share:

  • The new policy was developed using the principles of fair-use of resources. It aims to:
    • reduce classroom demand for certain days and times
    • increase scheduling flexibility for departments
    • ensure reasonable class access for students
  • There is no requirement to schedule classes at a particular time, just that they need to be more evenly distributed through the day and week.
  • The Class Scheduling Distribution Summary is a tool that illustrates the class demand of a department or college. Anybody with an Internet ID and password can access the tool.
