At the beginning of the scheduling process, each department will receive a copy of the final schedule from the previous like term.
For example, if you are beginning the process for a FALL semester, the Respective Dean's Office will send the prior FALL semester's final schedule as an excel document. This document is provided as a courtesy if the department would like to use it as a guideline to build the new schedule.
NOTE: each schedule (including room assignments) is created new each year. The ability to schedule courses in previous semesters is not a guarantee to have them successfully scheduled in future terms.
The spreadsheet will ask for the following information:
CRN [Course Registration Numbers] do not carry over from semester to semester - a new CRN is generated for each course each semester).
