The Classroom Scheduling Policies and Procedures have been established to permit efficient use of available classroom space as well as to provide an orderly framework for instructional planning. Use of standardized time-block models also allows students greater flexibility in scheduling classes offered by different departments or colleges. These regulations, in combination with the departmental class allocations, should ensure equitable distribution of classroom space among departments. Classroom Scheduling makes use of computerized scheduling which determines classroom assignments based on efficient classroom utilization, technology needs, and departmental building preferences whenever possible.
Requestors must complete the online Departmental Room Request Form to reserve a university classroom for a primary use activity. Classroom Scheduling will review the form and will respond in a timely manner. During peak request times (i.e., the first two or three weeks of the fall and spring semesters) we ask that you understand there may be a delay in processing your reservation. Events are processed on a first come, first served basis with careful consideration to event date and time sensitivity.
When submitting your request, please keep in mind that Facilities Management Access Services & UI Energy Control Center requires a 48-hour (two business days) notice in order to reprogram electronic building entrance(s) and University Classroom(s) locks and to ensure proper climate control.
Classroom Scheduling manages and schedules the central pool of University Classrooms throughout campus. This includes coordination of classrooms for schedule of courses, special academic events, and general maintenance and upkeep.
Course & Classroom Scheduling Services (CCSS) manages all UMD courses in the Student Information System (SIS). CCSS staff work with department schedulers to ensure that course offerings are correctly set in SIS and in the Testudo Schedule of Classes. CCSS oversees the scheduling of the 300+ general purpose classrooms (GPCs) on the UMD College Park campus.
Classroom Scheduling has oversight of general university classrooms and is responsible for rooming course sections. Course planning and scheduling of classroom space is dynamic each term and requires evaluation of credit hours, expected enrollment, requested attributes needed in a classroom and other related pedagogical considerations. The Faculty Staff Handbook provides guidance on Academic Scheduling.
Classroom facilities are to be used primarily in support of basic academic functions including teaching, research and related scholarly activities. Every effort will be made to ensure classroom space is assigned fairly, used appropriately and will accommodate the instructional needs of the university.
Scheduling of courses to be taught each term and assignment of classroom space is facilitated by adhering to the dates and deadlines set in the Production Calendars. Specific Part-of-Term designation align a course section with registration deadlines.
CLSS training and relevant subject access is initiated upon receipt of the CLSS Access Request form. Appropriate training, facilitated by the Scheduling Team, must be completed before CLSS access is granted.
The Office of the Registrar centrally manages general university classroom space. Academic courses have first priority. Classroom space assignment is facilitated by course scheduling software which uses an algorithm to effectively assign classrooms and maximize space utilization. Any specific classroom assignment for a course in one term does not guarantee a continuing classroom assignment in a subsequent term.
Once the Class Schedule has been set for a term, academic course-related and non-academic events may be scheduled by request. Refer to the Event Scheduling Policy for further guidance.
The Room Amenities & Availability site provides a list of general university classrooms available. To view a particular room schedule, use the 25Live Calendar. The most efficient way to search for the schedule in a particular room is to use the Quick Search for the building or room:
Colleges, departments, ASUI-recognized student groups, and programs may schedule events, based on availability, in general classroom spaces on a first-come first-served basis. Recognized student groups must check with the Idaho Student Union Building and Pitman Center prior to making a request for general university classroom space. A fee may be assessed for room and/or special equipment usage. All classrooms are available "as is" and food and beverages are strictly prohibited in all general university classrooms.
The Summer term is 12 weeks in length and begins the Monday following Spring commencement. It provides several session options including 4-week, 6-week, 8-week, and full-term. These sessions have standard start and end dates which drive student registration deadlines, fee payment, and refund deadlines. Summer sessions have been established to provide flexibility in course offerings while allowing students the opportunity of attending several sections with limited conflicts.
Apart from occasional exceptions made for academic purposes (such as a class visit to Fogler Library), or when the condition of a classroom leaves it temporarily unusable, classes are held in the room(s) to which they are assigned in MaineStreet.
A confirmation secures for the contact person or organization the use of the academic classroom space(s) needed. However, should a matter of great urgency arise to cause a change of room assignment, all parties involved will be notified prior to the date scheduled.
The policy of the University of Maine requires that academic classroom facilities be assigned to a contact person (i.e. student groups, campus organizations, or Conference Services). Students of recognized campus organizations who want to schedule academic classroom space must be listed as an official contact. The Coordinator for Student Organizations, 145 Memorial Union, 207.581.1760, maintains the list of recognized campus organizations and contacts.
The group reserving the room will be held responsible for the actions of its members during the hours the room is reserved. Please use care in the use of University of Maine common areas for meetings and education and/or social activities and try to leave each facility in as good or better condition as found. If an infraction occurs, a warning letter will be issued. A second infraction will results in the organization or group no longer being permitted to reserve classroom space. The group or contact person responsible for the particular gathering will pay for any resulting damage caused during the course of the activities. In the event of a cancellation, a 48 hour or more notice is suggested. The group sponsor will be held responsible for all debts incurred for non-cancellation.
The policy of the University of Maine is to remain open for classes and university functions for the maximum number of scheduled days possible during the school year in order to avoid the necessity of make-up days on weekends or holidays. A serious parking emergency or a case of exceptionally serious road conditions in the Greater Bangor area will be the only reasons to delay opening, which would allow the plows to get ahead of the problem prior to the arrival of commuter students and staff. In some cases it may be necessary to cancel classes.
