Manage Class Scheduling for Students
As a faculty or staff member, you may be tasked with developing a plan for the students while keeping track of the classroom usage. For example, you may be required to ensure that 25 percent of total class hours should be outside of the main class hours of 9.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. To accomplish these requirements, you can use the Class Schedule page to develop a plan for class room usage and schedule classes for various shifts in the specified time period.
Additionally, you can use the Schedule Classes page to:
- Schedule classes
- Assign instructors to classes
- Store comments about the class that will be included in the student's schedule
- Configure auto drop rules, absence warnings, makeup hours, and student specific attendance rules for the class
- Configure the waitlist for the class
- Configure options for the Anthology Student Portal
- Specify the fee schedules that will be used during registration
- View and update the book requirements for the class
- Add and remove the documents required for the class
- View the weekly class schedule
- View cross listed courses
The following conflict resolution features are available:
-
A warning is displayed if you try to schedule a class in a room for which another class has already been scheduled at the same time. For example, you must create two room IDs if a room is used for more than one class at the same time
-
A warning is displayed if you try to schedule an instructor for a class when the instructor is already scheduled for the same time period in another class
-
A validation message is displayed when you try to enter duplicate class codes
The Term Class Schedule report lists the class sections with basic information about each section (such as the instructors for each period, days of the weeks, start days, and start times). If you need more detailed information for class sections or instructors, you can create a custom view. For example, you can create a custom view that includes the:
- Course name
- Class section name and code
- Class section start and end dates
- Instructor for the period and the hours assigned
- Days and times of those periods
- Buildings, rooms, and locations
Refer to Example Queries for Custom Views.
