The Academic & Classroom Scheduling area of Space Management has moved to Hovde Hall, reporting to the Office of the Registrar. To schedule Academic & Classrooms, you can either call (765) 494-5700 or use the online access via SIS on the Web. Overview of Academic Scheduling
The scheduling of academic resources - courses, instructional staff, and space - for over 39,000 students is a complex task in which the office plays a key coordinating and leadership role. These activities place the office in a unique position to be "in touch" with the trends of instructional activities in all academic departments and schools during both the planning and the operational phase of each session.
Data resulting from the scheduling process at the West Lafayette campus, as well as scheduling data gathered from the regional campuses, form the basic input to a number of studies and reports. These reports are used for internal operations as well as for reporting to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and other public agencies.
Class Scheduling
The Office of the Registrar Academic & Classroom Scheduling works closely with the school and departmental schedule deputies to coordinate the scheduling of classes. The resulting schedule is an important tool in meeting students curricular needs.
If a department decides to cancel a course because of insufficient enrollment or for other administrative reasons, the schedule deputy for that department must notify the Office of the
Registrar
Academic & Classroom Scheduling. It is the instructor's responsibility to advise each student enrolled in that course to report immediately to his or her adviser to initiate a division change for the course. If there is no other division, the student must officially drop the course.
Changes to the official schedule of classes for a given session shall be modified only by joint action of the department head, departmental schedule deputy, and the Office of the Registrar Academic & Classroom Scheduling. An instructor shall not make an unauthorized change in the time and place of a scheduled course.
Final Examination Scheduling
The Office of the Registrar Academic & Classroom Scheduling is responsible for preparing a 16th week schedule in accordance with the policies prescribed by the Educational Policy Committee of the University Senate. The policy is to schedule a two-hour meeting time for each class during the 16th week of the session, commonly referred to as the final examination period. The goal in developing this schedule is to minimize direct conflicts, minimize the number of students having more than two exams on one day, and minimize the number of back-to-back exams for students.
Over 130,000 student class meetings are scheduled within the 30 prescribed two-hour class periods in the sixteenth week.
We now provide online access to final examination information for all courses offered by the University. Students can also access their personal final examination schedule via the Student Services Information System (SSINFO) by providing their password.
Evening Examination Scheduling
Scheduling of evening examinations is prompted primarily by the desire of some departments to give course examinations for their large multiple division courses. Also, some faculty feel that the normal 50-minute daytime period is insufficient for students to properly take their tests. This reason particularly applies to graduate-level courses.
