Class Times & Classrooms

The Department of Psychology is required to follow the class scheduling policy for the Twin Cities campus, which specifies when classes may be offered, meeting times, and distribution requirements for meeting times. These policies are in place in order to maximize classroom utilization and student access to courses.

• University Policy: Class Scheduling
  • Refer to section E. Twin Cities Campus Standard Schedule and Class Periods.
• Standard Class Meeting Time Charts for Class Scheduling 
  • Refer to D. Twin Cities Campus Standard Schedule and Class Periods and the appendix for specific meeting time options (e.g., MWF 9:05-9:55 for a 3-credit class). 

Classrooms are managed by either the Office of Classroom Management (OCM) (general purpose classrooms) or a department. The signage posted at a classroom and OCM’s Room Search page will indicate who it's managed by and who to contact for help (e.g., custodial/maintenance, furniture, or technology needs). Rooms are assigned to classes prior to the start of a semester and are reflected on the class schedule. 

The scheduling of classrooms is done by either the Office of Classroom Management (OCM) or departmental staff. Instructors do not have the task of selecting/scheduling the room assigned to their class, but they may make requests. Requests need to be made the year prior, and request fulfillment is not guaranteed. Faculty are asked to make any room requests in their annual faculty teaching plan. Otherwise, instructors may send requests to Heidi Wolff (hwolff@umn.edu).
