  1. SCHEDULE PRODUCTION AND CLASSROOM SCHEDULING October 2016

  2. SCHEDULE PRODUCTION PROCESS

  3. Topics • Distribution • Priority classroom • Cross listing • Cross referencing • Text? • Part of term (POT) • Deadlines • Scheduling pattern

  4. What is a Distribution? • A distribution is an Excel spreadsheet listing class section information as of the time the spreadsheet was created. The 1st Distribution contains information on class sections that were offered by the department in the corresponding term of the previous academic year. • Each department receives its own distribution and makes changes to the distribution following directions located on the Registrar’s website.

  5. First Distribution Fall 2014 class section information becomes the data contained in the 1st distribution for the Fall 2015 schedule at the time it is provided to departments. The next slide is an example of a 1st Distribution.

  6. A department has right of first refusal over use of its own priority classrooms. Not all departments have “priority” classrooms. • If a department does not make use of its priority classrooms on the return of the 1st Distribution to the Registrar’s Office, the Registrar’s Office has the right to assign a class from any department to that room. • The official classroom/lab list indicates the department that has priority of a classroom. This list is located at: www.ipfw.edu/registrar/faculty/schedule (see handout )

  7. The official classroom/lab list indicates the department that has priority of a classroom This list is located at: www.ipfw.edu/registrar/faculty/schedule (see handout )

  8. What Are Cross Listed Classes? Classes are cross listed when more than one class section meets in the same room, same time, same day with the same instructor. Example: ECET-302-01 & ITC 290-03 offered TR 1:30-2:45 in ET 107 with Instructor Gary Steffen The Registrar’s Office codes the cross listing. The cross list code could be, for example, A6.

  9. What is Cross Referencing? Cross Referencing allows display of a class section on the online schedule under multiple departmental headings. For example: A course on the history of women’s suffragette struggles could be offered by the history department. The class section would automatically appear under the History heading, but could also be programmed to appear under the Women’s Studies heading.

  10. What is text? Any verbiage, usually explanatory, included as part of the display of a class section on the schedule. Text provides information about some aspect of a class section. Examples of text are “Signature Of Instructor And Department Chair Required” and “Additional $50 Lab Fee Charge”

  11. What is a Part of Term (POT) code? A part of term is a span of time that reflects a class section’s start and end dates for a term. Part of term codes are utilized to standardize the dates for full semester sections, as well as sections that meet within defined periods of time in a semester or across semesters. Parts of term codes are created by the Registrar’s Office. A part of term code is assigned to each class section offered in a term.

  12. What is a part of term code? (cont.) Example: A spring semester class section runs from January 11 through March 7. You consult the part of term document on the Schedule production website for the spring semester, but you find no part of term that corresponds to January 11 through March 7. You would then request a part of term code from the Registrar’s Office. In this case, 7A was the code created for this period of time within the spring semester. Requests for special POTs can be entered on a distribution or Form 200. (see handout)

  13. Wait List Function Establishes an orderly First Come-First Serve Basis for Student Registration Department Chairs are able to Monitor Class Demand to Warrant Opening New Sections No need to constantly change the Max Enrollment Works with Cross Listed sections

  15. 1st Distribution • The 1st Distribution is an Excel document that contains the class sections previously offered in the most recent “like” term. Fall 2014 Fall 2015 • Each class section is assigned a new CRN as part of the schedule creation process. • Except for the CRN, changes can be requested to the prior semester’s class section offerings as you develop the offerings for the upcoming semester.
