Spring 2022 final exam scheduling

For spring 2022, if a classroom assignment is needed for an in-person or blended class’s final exam, departments need to let OCM know a room is required by filling out the In-Person Final Exams Request form. We will schedule one for you. Have this form filled out by February 15, 2022 for each class section that requires a classroom. Please help us with getting finals scheduled in a timely manner by getting your requests in by the deadline.

The final exam schedule (the date and time for when a final exam is to take place based on when the class was held during the term) is available on the One Stop website.

If a change is needed to a final exam, please continue to fill out the Final Exam Change Request form. If you are having an in-person final exam and something about the exam needs to change (exam time, location), please fill out both forms. Common exams should only fill out the Final Exam Change Request form. These forms can also be found on the Final Exam Information page on the ASR website.

Guidance on spring 2022 instruction sent to instructors

A message from the Provost was sent to instructors on Thursday, January 6. The Provost highlighted University support for allowing autonomy and flexibility in implementing temporary changes throughout this semester that will help instructors meet their needs and the needs of their students. Permanent modality changes should still follow collegiate and University processes.

Spring 2022 final exam scheduling

Final exams for spring 2022 will continue to be scheduled using the opt-in process for classroom assignments. This process change, implemented this past fall, was an overall success.

For spring, if a classroom assignment is needed for an in-person or blended class’s final exam, departments need to let OCM know a room is required by filling out the In-Person Final Exams Request form, and we will schedule one for you. Please have this form filled out by February 15, 2022, for each class section that requires a classroom.

The final exam schedule (the date and time for when a final exam is to take place based on when the class was held during the term) is available on the One Stop website.

If a change is needed to a final exam, please continue to fill out the Final Exam Change Request form. Both forms can also be found on the Final Exam Information page on the ASR website.

Waitlists for spring 2022

As a reminder, the auto enroll from waitlist process will run for the last time the day before a session begins, and the waitlists will be deleted the first day of the session. For spring, the auto enroll process will run for the final time on January 17, 2022 for all regular sessions and 1st half of term classes. The waitlists will be deleted on January 18, 2022.

Make final changes to spring 2022 classes by Monday, January 10

It is imperative to make final changes to spring classes as soon as possible, but no later than Monday, January 10, 2021. Late class changes can negatively impact students' financial aid eligibility, retention, and degree progress. It is the department’s responsibility to make changes prior to this deadline.

After January 10, ASR will formally review each class change requested. Many changes are not directly accommodated after students are enrolled and financial aid has been disbursed.

Spring 2022 class cancellations

If you need to cancel a class and students are enrolled or cancel a class because it is not being offered, please do the following:

Canceling a class with low enrollment:

1. Change the Class Status to “Stop Further Enrollment”
   (on the Enrollment Control tab of CCS).
2. Notify all enrolled students directly and offer alternate options.
3. Email ocmsched@umn.edu to process your cancellation (and drop students).
   Note: If your college requires collegiate approval for cancellation with low enrollment, also refer to your college procedures.

Canceling a class with zero enrollment:

1. Change the Class Status to “Canceled Section”
   (on the Enrollment Control tab of CCS).

Review spring 2022 room assignments

All room assignments for spring 2022 are available on the Class Schedule. Please review assignments for your department to ensure all classes requiring a general purpose classroom have been assigned.

Please note the following:

• If you notice a class without a room assignment, notify 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.

Waitlists for spring 2022

As a reminder, the auto enroll from waitlist process will run for the last time the day before a session begins, and the waitlists will be deleted the first day of the session. For spring, the auto enroll process will run for the final time on January 17, 2022 for all regular sessions and 1st half of term classes. The waitlists will be deleted on January 18, 2022.

If you wish to keep a record of who was on the waitlist for a class, and in what order, we suggest saving a copy of the list prior to its deletion. Also, if you want those formally waitlisted students to be able to register before other students, add departmental or instructor consent to that class section. Students would need to obtain a permission number before they register, and those permissions could be given to the students on the waitlist first.

Reserve Capacity seats released January 14 for spring 2022

If you use a reserve capacity for a class, remember ASR will release all reserved seats on the Friday before the first day of class each semester (January 14, 2022 for spring 2022 semester). You can review the guidelines for reserved seats on the OCM website.

Spring 2022 classroom assignments

Room assignments for spring 2022 (1223) are nearly complete and are available on the Class Schedule. We have about 1% left to assign for Spring 2022.

Please note the following:

• If you notice a class without a room assignment, you can notify ocmsched@umn.edu, and we can work to find a classroom.
• 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.

Spring 2022 class modalities

Spring 2022 class modalities will follow the same guidelines as fall 2021. If you missed the Provost’s message regarding modalities, it is available from the Provost's office for additional information.

Spring 2022 classroom assignments

Room assignments for spring 2022 (1223) are still in progress. If a class does not need a general purpose classroom assignment and you have not yet been assigned a departmental space, please notify ocmsched@umn.edu.

OCM only works to find general purpose classrooms for classes that are non-lab sections with a blank Facility ID in CCS. If the Facility ID field is populated, OCM will not actively look for a classroom for your class. This includes being populated 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.

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

Spring 2022 - Variable credit email

With spring registration approaching, it is imperative to make final changes to classes requiring set credits and/or changes to grade basis. After financial aid has been disbursed, the grading basis and the number of credits for a class cannot be altered.

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

If you need to make a change to the grading basis of a course, submit it directly through ECAS.

Spring 2022 classroom assignments

CCS is still open for spring 2022. Department schedulers may update class information (cancel, add, or change) directly in CCS. For additional help with class setup, please see the class setup guide. We will close CCS on September 30, 2021 for classroom assignments.

Queued registration for spring 2022 begins Thursday, November 9, 2021. 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 most reflective session. For reference, 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 the grading basis. If changes need to be made, submit changes through ECAS.
• All date, day, time, and instruction mode changes should be made before students register to make sure to minimize student conflicts and confusion.
