Classroom Requests for Fall 2008

Instructors should submit their Classroom Request Forms for the Fall 2008 semester. Addressed forms for specific courses have been mailed to department offices. Ask your department/program coordinator or chair how classroom request forms are handled for your department. In some departments, individual faculty members submit their own forms. In other departments, the forms are filled in and/or collected centrally and turned in all at once.

Instructors who are off campus should work with their department/program chair or coordinator to have their form(s) submitted on their behalf. All instructors for a co-taught course will receive a Classroom Request Form for their shared course; only one form per course should be submitted.

Each Classroom Request Form allows an instructor to specify:
• the type of room preferred for a course;
• room(s) preferred;
• rooms for labs, film screenings, etc., if needed;
• equipment and other room resources required; and
• if s/he will also be teaching another course immediately before or after a course.

The back side of the form displays information about classrooms available on campus--including room capacity, type of room, equipment available, etc. 

All Fall 2008 Classroom Request Forms are due to the Office of the Registrar by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, 22 May 2008. If a form is not submitted for a course, it is assumed that there are no room type preferences and no equipment needs for the course; those courses will be assigned to classrooms last. 

Adams Hall will be reopening for the Fall 2008 semester. Check the classroom grid on the back of the Classroom Request Form for details about Adams Hall rooms. The following rooms will also be upgraded for Fall 2008: Banister 106, Sills 111, and Sills 209. 

The Office of the Registrar assigns classrooms in accordance with the Classroom Assignment Policy. The policy explains the relative priority that different considerations have during the classroom assignment process. Classroom assignments are reviewed with representatives from Information Technology and the Office of the Dean for Academic Affairs before they are finalized. Classroom assignments for Fall 2008 courses will be posted in Bearings during the last week of July.

If an instructor has a disability documented with Human Resources, we will hear from Human Resources the room accommodations we need to address on his/her behalf. Faculty should contact Mary Demers in Human Resources with questions about documenting a disability.

Additional/blank Classroom Request Forms are available online. The online version of the form includes a link to the grid of available classrooms, and that grid includes links to information and photos posted online by Information Technology for some of the rooms.
