May/Summer 2023 CCS opens January 6

CCS will open again for the May/summer 2023 (1235) term to make changes to classes before registration begins on February 23, 2023.

Classroom assignments for summer 2023 are available on the Class Schedule. Please review assignments for your department to ensure all classes requiring a general purpose classroom have been assigned. If you notice a class without a room assignment, please notify ocmsched@umn.edu.

Final exam requests for spring 2023

If an in-person or blended class is planning to have an in-person final exam, the Final Exam Request form must be filled out to request a classroom to conduct the final exam. This same form can be used to inform us of any changes (date/time or alternate seating) that need to be made to a final exam as well. You can submit up to five classroom/change requests per submission.

The deadline to submit these requests for spring 2023 is March 3, 2023.
