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 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.
  • A link to this chart is included in the Class Scheduling policy, near bottom of the page under Appendices.

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 general purpose classrooms is handled by the Office of Classroom Management (OCM). The scheduling of departmentally-managed classrooms is handled by departmental staff. Instructors do not have the task of selecting/scheduling the room assigned to their class. Instructors may make requests, but there are restrictions, and request fulfillment is not guaranteed. Requests need to be made the year prior and may be made for departmentally-managed classrooms only. For general purpose classrooms, an instructor may only ask to be assigned a room with a particular feature but may not request a specific room. Faculty are asked to make any room requests in their annual faculty teaching plan. Otherwise, requests and classroom questions may be sent to Heidi Wolff ([email protected]).

Office of Classroom Management (OCM)

• On OCM’s website, you will find a variety of information and resources, including a room search, equipment instructions, accessibility and accommodations information, and the final exam schedule.

Department of Psychology Intranet

• On the Department’s intranet, you will find a variety of information and resources, including a list of Elliott Hall rooms that may be reserved (Central Services/Room Scheduling). Please note that this room scheduling feature should not be used to assign a room to a regularly-occurring class. Rather, it should be used for miscellaneous occasions such as meetings, presentations, etc.
