Continuous Improvements for AY26 Scheduling Cycle
Listening to feedback from department chairs, department administrative assistants, instructional deans, and the Schedule Development team, the following adjustments have been made for this annual scheduling cycle.
- Dean’s Approval Required for All Course Schedule Changes
All changes to the course schedule – additions, deletions, cancellations, edits – continue to require dean approval and will be documented in and communicated to the Schedule Development team via the appropriate Division Schedule Edit Administration spreadsheet. The division spreadsheet enables Schedev to have a single point of information to get scheduling data from everyone in the division.
