Academic Scheduling

Academic Scheduling

The Academic Scheduler oversees the assignment of Lane Community College classroom spaces, maintains the 25Administrative Utility and coordinates class section data in 25Live, 25Admin, LYNX, and Banner. 

Lane Classroom Definitions

Classrooms - these rooms are used for a variety of classes and do not typically have specialized equipment that may pose a hazard to students or staff not trained in its use, e.g. equipment found in an auto tech or chemistry lab. Classrooms are open spaces.

All classrooms are designated as one of the following:

• Open
• Pre-Assigned/Not Blocked
• Pre-Assigned/Blocked

Laboratory - is a room or building equipped for experimentation, research or testing and that equipment may pose a danger to students or staff not trained in its use. Because of the possible danger laboratories are blocked spaces. 

Lecture/Lab - is a dual-purpose room appropriate for both lecture and lab use and may be a blocked space.

Classroom Assignments

The priority in which instructional spaces are scheduled is as follows:

1. credit class sections
2. noncredit class sections
3. events—a non-instructional meeting or gathering that is not CRN-based

Lane classes, both credit and noncredit, have priority over events. An event may lose it's room reservation if the space is needed for a class. If an event loses it's reservation notification will be sent to the Event Scheduler who will work with the requester and attempt to find another space for the event.

Final Exams

Lane has a standard final exam schedule designed to minimize exam conflicts for students.
