Will reside under scheduling control and management of Classroom Scheduling for course offerings and special event scheduling. Further within this category are the merged departmental classrooms. Classroom Scheduling will provide University Classroom assignments; however, college/departmental input will guide the assignment process. Additionally, in some cases, upon completion of the initial classroom scheduling window, shared special event scheduling can commence collaboratively between Classroom Scheduling and the college/departmental affiliated office representatives until the end of the session, excluding final examination week.

Will reside under scheduling control and management of the college/departmental affiliated office during the initial scheduling process for course offerings programming. On occasion, a Programmed Classroom will be needed to satisfy seating demand unable to be fulfilled by the University Classroom inventory. Upon completion of the initial classroom scheduling window, shared special event scheduling commences collaboratively between Classroom Scheduling and the college/departmental affiliated office representatives as needed.

All instructional space officially classified as any room type other than “Classroom” will remain under the scheduling control and management of the Academic Department with oversight by the College.

Will reside under the scheduling control of the colleges/departments. These spaces include but are not limited to laboratories, studios, practice rooms, meeting rooms, and conference rooms. Specialty spaces serve a variety of departmental activities and course programming.

Scheduled and managed with rules and regulations to maximize University resources. All classrooms will adhere to all Registrar and college/departmental rules and regulations unless an approved exception exists from the Office of the Provost or Classroom Scheduling. Policies exist regarding, but not limited to, off-grid scheduling, non-standard class time, on-grid event scheduling, and seat fill requirements.

• Colleges/departments continue to retain initial priority scheduling rights. Any special scheduling considerations must be communicated to Classroom Scheduling by the close date of the MAUI Planner for the respective session.
• Classroom Scheduling retains administrative authority to schedule classrooms around the prior prioritized assignments coordinated with the colleges/departments to maximize efficient use of University instructional resources and to ensure space assignment is fulfilled across all approved course offerings.
• Use of Ad Astra is required across all University Classrooms to ensure scheduling accuracy and enhanced reporting and statistics. If the college/department does not desire shared scheduling, Classroom Scheduling will schedule and manage the instructional space for the academic department.

Different from traditional University Classrooms due to the unique scheduling needs within the undergraduate or graduate/professional schools that warrant a different operational process. 

• Colleges/departments continue to retain initial priority scheduling rights to the classrooms they are assigned in this category. Input of initial room assignments will be made directly into MAUI Planner by the college/departmental staff. In coordination with colleges/departments, Classroom Scheduling may schedule Programmed Classroom spaces around pre-programmed priorities.
• At the close of the initial scheduling window, Programmed Classroom spaces revert to shared scheduling/management for the remainder of the academic term between the college/department and Classroom Scheduling.
• The Programmed Classroom designation requires colleges/departments to utilize Ad Astra and/or MAUI Planner as their scheduling tool to account for all instructional spaces where undergraduate education occurs to enhance reporting integrity and accuracy of shared resource information.

Non-classroom type instructional spaces assigned to academic departments.

• Colleges/departments are strongly encouraged to utilize Ad Astra as a scheduling tool for all instructional section offerings or academic activities assigned to Specialty Spaces to enhance reporting integrity and accuracy of shared resource information.
• Due to the significant resources previously allocated and the already established interfaces with our student information system, the Office of the Provost will no longer support the purchase of any other course/event management scheduling tool effective January 1, 2017.
