Class Scheduling
Each year, the Office of the University Registrar works with college schedulers to build the course offerings that will be available for students to register in upcoming semesters. Course offerings are built one year in advance to allow sufficient time for classroom assignments and the release of the Schedule of Courses prior to the opening of course registration.
Class Scheduling Workflow
Class scheduling is a cyclical process with class details being entered into LionPATH and classroom assignments being created using the 25Live Optimizer. College schedulers, faculty, the Office of the University Registrar, and the Office of the Faculty Senate all play a part in the successful completion of the Schedule of Courses each semester.
