Fall 2026/Spring 2027 Class Schedule roll forward

We will make a copy of the fall 2025 and spring 2026 class information and roll those classes forward to fall 2026 (1269) and spring 2027 (1273) so that schedulers do not need to build a new schedule each term. This process will be done on December 1, 2025.

Class sections that do not roll forward are:

• Canceled sections
• Tentative sections
• UGRD Topics classes
• Classes with zero enrollment (excluding directed studies and research)
• Undergraduate classes scheduled in Extended Regular Session (session 011)

Fall 2026 and spring 2027 classes will be available in CCS on December 15, 2025 to start making updates and changes.

Spring 2026 (1263) room assignments

Room assignments for spring 2026 (1263) are available on the Class Schedule. 

Please remember, many classes already have classrooms assigned. If changes are made to a class (dates, times, etc.), the classroom assignment may be dropped. We are getting down to very few GPC classrooms available from 9 a.m.–2 p.m. M–Th. If the assigned classroom does get dropped, it may be assigned to a different class. Please let us know as soon as possible if a classroom needs to be reassigned.

Additionally, before increasing any class enrollment capacities, we recommend confirming if the assigned classroom capacity can accommodate the enrollment increase. If a larger classroom would be needed, please email us to check if a larger classroom is available first.

Please note the following:

• We only find general purpose classrooms for classes that have a component type of LEC or DIS with a blank Facility ID in CCS. If the component type is LAB, FWK, IND, or ROT, we will not actively look for a classroom for your class.
• If you notice a class without a room assignment, please notify ocmsched@umn.edu.
• If you need assistance adding a departmental space to a class, email ocmsched@umn.edu.
• Remind instructors to verify their classroom assignment before the first class, as room assignments are subject to change prior to the start of the term.

Review room assignments for fall 2024 (1249)

7 things class schedulers should know about instructor assignments in CCS

1. Approve access is required to enter and submit grades.
2. Grade access allows you to enter grades but not submit them.
3. Multiple component classes need an instructor assigned to each component. 
4. Your primary instructor on a non-graded non-enrollment lecture section cannot enter grades unless they are also the instructor for the lab and/or discussion sections.
5. The Print checkbox determines if an instructor (or proxy) is listed on the Class Search and Schedule Builder.
6. The Classes Missing Instructor Information query will find classes with enrollment but without instructors. This is located in the Reporting Center.
7. Instructors (and proxies) will roll forward each term. It is the CCS Schedulers responsibility to ensure that instructors and proxies who are no longer associated with a class section are removed. 

Make final changes to May/summer 2024

Registration opens February 22, 2024, for the May/summer term (1245). Please make your final changes to summer 2024 classes as soon as possible. Changes to classes made after enrollment can negatively impact students.

Fall 2023 classroom scheduling in progress

At this time, we are still working on getting classrooms assigned for fall. However, around 5% of classes still need classrooms. Classroom availability for large lecture halls is very limited. We may not be able to accommodate enrollment capacity increases or meeting pattern changes for certain times of the day. Please check with ocmsched@umn.edu prior to making any large changes.  

As a reminder, OCM only works to find general-purpose classrooms for classes that are lecture or discussion sections with a blank Facility ID in CCS. If a class is typically held in a specific departmentally owned classroom, please assign those classrooms to those classes.

If the Facility ID field is populated, OCM will not actively look for a classroom for your class. This includes populating it with a virtual space, such as:

• ROOM000TBA (room to be assigned) - the CCS scheduler will be adding a departmental or other room to a class section or meeting pattern.

• NORMREQD (no room required) - no room is required for the class section and/or meeting pattern.

• ONLINEONLY (online only) - the class section or meeting pattern of the class will be conducted completely online, so no classroom is needed.

• REMOTE (remote instruction) - the class section or meeting pattern of the class will be conducted remotely, so no classroom is needed.

• AHC000TBA (AHC room to be assigned) - no GPC is needed.

• LAB000TBA (lab section - room to be assigned) - no GPC is needed.

• NO000PRINT - the class section has the “schedule print” box unchecked.

If a class has one of these virtual rooms assigned and it now needs a classroom instead, please contact ocmsched@umn.edu.

All room assignments are subject to change prior to the start of the term. While this usually affects only a small number of classes, we encourage departments and instructors to verify their classroom assignments before the first class meeting.
