What guidelines does the LRC use in scheduling classrooms?
A. Following are the guidelines that we follow in the room scheduling process: • Scheduling deadlines are established, based upon those issued by the Registrars Office, and announced via e-mail to all faculty and staff. • Room assignments are made only after all requests meeting the deadline are submitted. The time period immediately following the deadline allows the LRC to start with a clean slate, so to speak, and then begin matching classes to the most appropriate spaces to help ensure best fit for all. • In determining best fit, we consider the following: • Size of space in relation to size of group; • Special equipment needs in relation to specialized facilities, e.g., courses using video teleconferencing in LRC 104 or LRC 114; • Consistency in the room assigned to each group to avoid confusion about where classes meet from day to day or week to week; • Proximity of available classrooms to faculty offices/departments/buildings. • We distribute room assignment confirmations soon af
