Updating
room characteristic information provides OCM with information about the type of room in which the instructor would like to teach. It also helps students and instructors by not having to move a class during the first week of classes because the instructor didn't get the type of room they wanted.
Tips for getting the right classroom:
- Check with the instructor to verify the appropriate room characteristics.
- Don't request room characteristics that conflict with each other (e.g., Active Learning Classrooms and Tablet Arm Chairs or West Bank and East Bank).
- Use the Room Search tool to learn which rooms have which room features.
- Choose a maximum of four room characteristics. Choosing multiple room characteristics limits the number of possible classrooms.
If you have special requests that cannot be documented using CCS (disability requirements, instructors teaching back-to-back classes, etc.), please send an email to
ocmsched@umn.edu.
