Important Notes:

Class Scheduling:

During Fall and Spring terms, All departments should plan to have a minimum of 10% of their schedule offered outside of the 9am to 2pm Prime Times.

Traditional Lecture courses will be scheduled in the attached spaces first. Please see the revised capacities document.
We will continue to work to spread our schedule across the days and times of the week. Meeting patterns with the highest utilization, and therefore with the most frequent space constraints are:
- MWF:
  - 10:10 am
  - 12:20 pm
  - 1:25 pm
- MW:
  - 1:00 pm
- TR:
  - 9:30 am
  - 11:00 am
