Instructional Room Scheduling

General-use classrooms are used for a variety of instructional purposes and are scheduled for instruction as follows::

1. The ability to pre-assign a general-use classroom space will be granted to an academic department based on demonstrated instructional need and will be scheduled first by a department, then by the Scheduling office. These spaces are designated pre-assigned/not blocked.
2. The Space Assignment Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending the spaces to be pre-assigned and/or blocked. Cabinet will make the final decision on Space Assignment Committee recommendations. Requests may be made by filling out the Space Assignment Request form.
3. The Scheduling office will be responsible for assigning all classroom spaces, with the exception of blocked laboratory spaces.

Laboratories are rooms equipped for experimentation, research, testing, or subject-specific instruction and are scheduled first through the department, then through the Scheduling office.

1. The ability to pre-assign a laboratory will be granted to those departments for which the laboratory experience is an integral or required part of the academic program. Laboratories are designated as blocked spaces.
2. For non-pre-assignment use of a laboratory, the instructional manager responsible for the laboratory must  grant authorization before the facility can be scheduled through the Scheduling Office. 
   1. If authorization is granted, the facility may be scheduled through the Scheduling Office.
   2. The instructional manager responsible for the facility must develop standard operating procedures for use of the laboratory and its equipment. These procedures must apply to all users of the facility.
   3. Where specialized equipment is to be used, the instructional manager shall approve all persons who use the equipment.
3. The exception to the laboratory manager approval requirement is a general-use computer lab.

Lecture/labs are dual purpose rooms with lecture as well as laboratory facilities. These spaces will be scheduled first through the pre-assignment department, then through the Scheduling Office.

1. The ability to pre-assign a lecture/lab will be granted to those departments that require a special facility to support their department's academic programs. Lecture/labs are designated as blocked or preassigned not blocked spaces.
2. The Scheduling Office will be responsible for assigning all non-pre-assignment use of lecture/labs.

A cross-list is required when more than one class section will meet in the same instructional space, at the same time and the same day.  An override does not provide the information needed by the computer system to understand your intent.  An override alone is ignored and viewed as a conflict.

All non instructional and event scheduling is to be done through the Lane Event Scheduler in accordance with Facilities: Scheduling.
