Departments and programs who offer 10 or more course sections do not have a commonly available time during the week to meet as a group. Based on work done in the last academic year by the Working Group on Faculty and Department Meeting Times in consultation with the Office of the Registrar, departments and programs who offer 10 or more course sections can opt to use a designated timeblock, see list below, as their meeting time in lieu of offering a course section in that slot.
To opt in to the pilot for spring 2024, simply leave the designated timeblock open on the scheduling spreadsheet. To opt out of the pilot for spring 2024, use the designated timeblock below for a course and arrange group meetings at an alternate time.
Departments and programs who offer fewer than 10 course sections per semester do not need to use all the timeblocks once and so, de facto, have open/unused blocks from which they can select a meeting time.
