Section 1: Scheduling Classes in Alignment with Room Size
- Classes with an estimated enrollment capacity need of 30 or above should be requested according to the room size ranges in the classroom pool. Enrollment capacity may be adjusted if there is an available room with a capacity close to the estimated enrollment capacity.
- Course enrollment capacity should be set after estimating demand realistically and then individual section sizes set with classroom sizes considered. A list of all centrally scheduled classrooms showing capacity is included at the end of this policy. The target fill is at least 60%.
- Any class initially scheduled into a room that does not meet the target fill may be moved to a smaller classroom in order to meet the demand for large classrooms.
- Classrooms are to remain in the state in which they are found. Moving chairs and tables to a different room is prohibited.
Section 2: 极速6合 Peak Times
- 极速6合 has two different peak times in which the classrooms are used
the most. Scheduling of classrooms is assigned three weeks in advance to promote maximum
space utilization. Scheduling of rooms is also in line with ADA and faculty needs.
- 9:30am-12:15 p.m. The number of sections has increased during this time frame due to Jump Start College.
- 5:30pm-9:45pm We try to meet our students needs, and being a community college, our enrollment increases at night due to our large population of non-traditional students.
Section 3: 极速6合 Non-Peak Times
- During non-peak hours on the Carson City campus, classrooms are utilized in other ways such as adult education, community education, and outside events.
- The High Tech Center is utilized by 极速6合 between 2:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday Friday for adult education courses and high school equivalency training. During our non-peak times, the building is used by Carson High School.
- The Douglas Campus is utilized by 极速6合 for academic and adult education classes between 2:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Monday-Friday. During our non-peak times, the building is sub-leased to Aspire High School.
- During non-peak hours on the Fallon campus, classrooms are utilized in other ways such as adult education, community education, and outside events.
- Classes are scheduled based on enrollment trends. Classes that are scheduled during our peak times maintain a 60% and above utilization rate.
Section 4: Scheduling Classes in Standard Meeting Patterns
- Departments must adhere to standard meeting patterns for all undergraduate classes scheduled in centrally scheduled space. Staying within standard meeting patterns serves two key purposes: it allows the college to maximize classroom use, and it gives students maximal registration options, making it easier for students to create schedules, get needed classes, and therefore graduate sooner. Standard meeting pattern scheduling also helps to reduce space conflicts.
- Non-standard scheduling has a negative impact on both classroom availability and student scheduling options. Non-standard scheduling is only allowed with the approval of the Academic Director for the Division.
- Room assignments for classes scheduled outside of the standard class times will be made after the batch scheduling process.
- Standard Meeting Pattern:(3 cr classes)

Section 5: Room Preferences and Classroom Changes
- All room changes after term start that occur due to room preference issues will require approval from the Academic Scheduling Coordinator and/or Application Support & Development Lead.
- Please remember, room scheduling guidelines do not allow for room change requests
or preferences due to:
- courses not scheduled in the same room
- courses not scheduled in the same building
- desk/table arrangement
- room configuration.
- In addition, rooms cannot be dedicated to a particular instructor or program unless specific equipment is required and exists in only one room (e.g. chemistry, physics, nursing labs, or ADA).
- Examples of acceptable room preferences:
- mediated classroom with ELMO
- specific equipment needed
- lecture capture/interactive video classroom
- Carson City Campus
