Scheduling Update: Summer projects impact classroom availability

From lighting updates to furniture replacements to technology upgrades, general purpose classrooms and study spaces often receive a refresh during the summer months. Project teams and technicians will be around campus this summer. To learn more about Office of Classroom Management (OCM) projects, visit the OCM projects web page.

Scheduling Update: Spring 2014 (1143) scheduling available soon

Room assignments for spring 2014 (1143) will be available on the Class Schedule on May 29. At that time, you can make updates to course information (cancel, change, or add). Please note: changes made to meeting times, enrollment capacities, and requested room capacities will result in the loss of the classroom assignment.

Scheduling Update: Upcoming change to event scheduling

On May 20, 2013, OCM will launch a new electronic event request system called Astra Schedule. A quick start guide will be available that includes instructions on how to request an event using the new system. Scheduling staff will also conduct demonstrations at the following locations across campus:

• Saint Paul: Tuesday, May 21, 9 -10 a.m., Ruttan B35

• West Bank: Wednesday, May 22, 2:30-3:30 p.m., Blegen 10

• East Bank: Thursday, May 23, 9-10 a.m., Nicholson 155

Scheduling Update: Room assignments available for May/summer (1135) and fall (1139)

Room assignments for May/summer session and fall 2013 are available on the One Stop Class Schedule. Review the assignments for your department to ensure all classes requiring a general purpose classroom have been assigned a room. Note: room assignments are subject to change prior to the start of term. While this usually only affects a small number of classes, always encourage instructors to verify classroom assignments before the first day of class.

Scheduling Update: Verify instructor information for spring 2013 (1133) grade entry

To ensure instructors have access to their online grade rosters, please verify your spring 2013 courses. Also, be sure to include the instructor for course sections that require grades. See Grade Reporting for more information about how and when to enter grades.

Contact the Student Records Training & Support Team at srhelp@umn.edu or 612-625-2803 for questions.
