Schedule Development

When the schedule is rolled, review the reports to determine which rolled sections should be deleted or expanded. Work with your schedule builder during the editing phase (refer to production timeline) to make updates.

Adhere to the Standard Scheduling Patterns.

What to do when Registration has started

When registration begins, it is critical for deans, chairs, and coordinators to review course enrollments and waitlists weekly. Doing this often and early will help to determine where we need faculty to teach new sections, and help our students by introducing new sections.

Term

  

Timelines to review cancellation, waitlist, etc. reports
Summer   End of March - Mid-June
Fall   End of March - Mid-October
Spring   End of November - Mid-March

Evaluating Scheduling Success

When the term ends, review the reports and assess how well your department scheduled!

  • Were the section enrollments at 80% at census?
  • Were there less cancellations than the prior, like-term?
  • How were low-enrolled sections addressed?
  • Were adjuncts available when new course sections were needed?
    • Identify areas for improvement and celebrate the successes.
