Scheduling Goals

The primary goal of the Office of the Registrar is to optimize courses, staff, and teaching spaces while reducing operating costs to be fiscally efficient and environmentally responsible. This focus is crucial in the fiscally challenging years ahead. By following standardized scheduling patterns with compatible start and end times, the overall schedule fits together with less conflict in a consistent and equitable manner.

To achieve these goals, scheduling policies and procedures have been established by Classroom Scheduling and approved by the Office of the Provost. These regulations apply to university classrooms used by the Colleges of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Education, Engineering, and the Tippie College of Business. The scheduling regulations ensure efficient use of classroom space and provide an orderly framework for instructional planning, reducing course concentration. Standardized time blocks also offer students greater flexibility in scheduling classes across different departments or colleges.
