Course Scheduling Policies and Procedures
The following policies and procedures are established by the Office of the Provost and implemented by the Office of the University Registrar to ensure courses and classrooms are scheduled to support the needs of students, faculty and the University. The primary goal of course scheduling policies is to facilitate student registration resulting in conflict free schedules and timely graduation with an array of courses that are based upon student need. The Office of the University Registrar will continue to work collaboratively with academic departments to accommodate the pedagogical preference of faculty while maximizing classroom capacities and room availability. The following policies and procedures will be enforced fairly and consistently across departments, while recognizing special circumstances may require further review. Departments and schools are strongly encouraged to follow the list of policies when planning courses and facilitating student registration.
