Academic Scheduling

Academic Scheduling

The Academic Scheduler oversees the assignment of Lane Community College classroom spaces, maintains the 25Administrative Utility and coordinates class section data in 25Live, 25Admin, LYNX, and Banner. 

Lane Classroom Definitions

Classrooms - these rooms are used for a variety of classes and typically do not have specialized equipment that may pose a hazard to students or staff not trained in its use, e.g. equipment found in an auto tech or chemistry lab. All classrooms are designated as one of the following:

• open
• preassigned/not blocked

Laboratory - is a room or building equipped for experimentation, research or testing and that equipment may pose a danger to students or staff not trained in its use. Because of the possible danger, laboratories are:

• preassigned blocked

Lecture/Lab - is a dual-purpose room appropriate for both lecture and lab use. It may be designated as:

• preassigned blocked or preassigned/not blocked

Classroom Assignments

The priority in which instructional spaces are scheduled is as follows:

1. credit class sections
2. noncredit class sections
3. events—a non-instructional meeting or gathering that is not CRN-based

Lane classes, both credit and noncredit, have priority over events. An event may lose it's reservation if the space reserved is needed for a class. If an event loses it's reservation notification will be sent to the Event Scheduler who will work with the requester and attempt to find another space for the event.

Final Exams

Lane has a standard final exam schedule designed to minimize exam conflicts for students.
