Course Scheduling Glossary of Terms
Advance Copy | A PDF of the finalized course schedule is posted in Canvas prior to online publication as an 'advance copy' of the Online Course Schedule. Published during Final Review Phase. |
Advising Information | The Office of the Registrar publishes advising notes, locations, and major codes as part of online Course Schedule publication, under the 'Advising >' section of the Course Schedule. At the start of original phase, review your published advising information and submit any changes to the Course Scheduling Production team. |
All Sections Report | Tab-Delimited text download available in Class Manager that shows all sections scheduled for a department or field of study. All Sections reports are posted in Canvas periodically by the Course Scheduling Production team as a record of the course schedule on that date. |
Allocation | The maximum number of general-purpose classrooms (GPCs) that each academic unit may request per standard timeline during prime scheduling hours as part of Original Phase. Allocation is posted to Canvas at the start of Original Phase. Allocation is only enforced during Original Phase for long semesters. |
Anticipated Enrollment | Actual anticipated number of students expected to enroll in each section, based on projected student demand. REQUIRED information. |
Attributes | Room features and general media availability in GPCs. Department schedulers can request specific attributes for their GPC assignments during Original Phase. Attributes for each class can be found on the GPC list for each semester, and specific media is listed on the Technology Classroom Database. |
Automated Scheduling | Bulk assignment of GPCs based on requests, assignment methodology, and availability. Classes not assigned a GPC automatically are assigned manually by the Course Scheduling Production team, if possible. |
Back-to-Back (Btb, b2b) | Series of classes meeting consecutively with the same instructor. We attempt to honor back-to-back requests by keeping classes in close proximity when assigning GPCs. Indicate via timeline notes in Class Manager using the CSN of the corresponding sections. |
Topics Course | Topics courses allow for varying content (topics) within a general subject area, and are repeatable (for degree audit purposes) when the topic (title) varies. Unnumbered topics exist only in the Course Schedule; not Course Inventory. |
Canvas | Reports and memos are published in Canvas throughout the production process for departmental schedulers to use, as well as a variety of training resources for departmental schedulers. |
CCYYS or YYS | Shorthand abbreviation for specific semester |
