Annual Course Scheduling

Annual course scheduling refers to the process in which academic departments establish their course offerings for the upcoming academic year. Revisions to course offerings can include adjustments to existing course section details, such as enrollment maximums, meeting days or times, or course restrictions. Departments will also determine course section additions and deletions.

Annual course scheduling is submitted and reviewed during two adjustment periods between January and May, with a final adjustment period occurring between Finals week of two terms prior to the adjustment term through the Friday before registration begins for the term. Annual course scheduling adjustments are entered by department course schedulers through CourseLeaf CLSS and audited by Office of the University Registrar (OUR). OUR will work with course schedulers during the auditing period to address any errors before the schedule goes live on the Drexel University Term Master Schedule (WebTMS).

Each department is responsible for updating their course offerings during each phase in order to ensure the appropriate courses are offered based on student demand before the onset of registration. Resources for this process may be found on the Course Scheduling Teams. Membership may be requested by new course schedulers by emailing Academic Services.
