Spring 2023 classroom assignments (1233)

Room assignments for spring 2023 (1233) are available on the Class Schedule. If you notice a class without a room assignment, please 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 2023

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 16, 2023 for all regular sessions and 1st half of term classes. The waitlists will be deleted on January 17, 2023.

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 13 for spring 2023

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. For the spring 2023 semester, all reserved seats will be released on January 13, 2023. You can review the guidelines for reserved seats on the OCM website.

Make final changes to spring 2023 classes by Monday, January 9

It is imperative to make final changes to spring classes as soon as possible, but no later than Monday, January 9, 2023. 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 9, Academic Support Resources (ASR) will formally review each class change requested. Many changes are not directly accommodated after students are enrolled and financial aid has been disbursed.

Reserve Capacity seats released January 13 for spring 2023

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 for each semester. For the spring 2023 semester, all reserved seats will be released on January 13. You can review the guidelines for reserved seats on the OCM website.

Please note the following:

• If you notice a class without a room assignment, please notify ocmsched@umn.edu.

Spring 2023 (1233)

Queued registration for spring 2023 begins Tuesday, November 8, 2022. 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 correct based on the 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 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.

Spring 2023 classroom assignments

Room assignments for spring 2023 (1233) 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. Please also let us know if you need assistance adding a departmental space.

We work to 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. Additionally, if the Facility ID field is populated, we 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 2023 - 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’ve identified all classes with variable credits and sent emails to the 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.
