A. 课程安排.

A-1. Each academic unit annually submits to the registrar a listing of the courses it proposes to offer in the following year, including the names of the instructors to be assigned to and the times and rooms desired for each course and section. The sections of a multisectioned service course are to be distributed over a range of class periods. The registrar is responsible for preparation of the time schedule, including the assignment of general classrooms.

A-2. A request for a change in the scheduled time or room for a class must be submitted via the departmental administrator and dean to the registrar for approval. Approved changes are published each semester.

B. 取消课程. (另见D.) As soon as possible after the beginning of each semester or other term, departmental administrators should notify the registrar of all scheduled classes that are not being given; this will permit the reassignment of the room. 除非另有指示, each college establishes its policies as to the minimum number of students necessary to offer a course or section of a course.

C. 空间利用率报告. As soon as possible after the beginning of each term, departmental administrators must report to the registrar the actual meeting time and place of each course being given, including those that had been scheduled on a to-be-arranged basis.

D. DISMISSAL AND SHORTENING OF CLASSES. Any general dismissal of classes or shortening of class periods on a university-wide basis, 不管出于什么原因, requires prior approval by the 教师参议院 and the president, 除了, 在紧急情况下, classes may be dismissed or shortened by the president, 总统指定的人, 或者教务委员会. No general dismissal or shortening of classes is permitted for presentations by political figures or for other political activities, except in connection with symposia or other events sponsored by official UI units or bodies, e.g., the Borah Foundation Committee, and then only with the advance approvals required above. Dismissal of classes for the Honors Convocation, from 2:30 to 5 p.m. on the Friday of Family Weekend, has continuing approval.

E. 教室家具及设备. Information on the capacity of each classroom is maintained by the registrar to aid in the appropriate assignment of classes to rooms on the basis of projected enrollment. 出于这个原因, chairs or other furniture that would affect the rooms’ rated capacities should not be moved from one room to another. Requests for additional chairs should be sent to the registrar so that adjustments may be made, 如果可能的话, without adversely affecting other classes. 教室不足, 需要维修, or equipment defects should be reported to the registrar by the instructor using the room.

F. SCHEDULING OF CLASSROOM SPACE BY STUDENT ORGANIZATIONS.

F-1. Student organizations with interests that are not related to a specific UI curriculum and that are not directly sponsored by an academic department, must first seek a meeting room in the Commons or 皮特曼中心 before contacting the Registrar’s Office for possible classroom space. Classroom space will be reserved only if the Commons or the 皮特曼中心 cannot accommodate the request.

F-2. Student organizations that are academically focused may request one-time scheduling in classrooms regardless if whether space in the Commons or 皮特曼中心 is available. The requirement to first seek space in the Commons or 皮特曼中心 is suspended for these groups. The definition of an ‘academically focused’ student organization includes the following: (a) students in the same curriculum that meet on a regular basis to explore issues and stage events directly related to their major course of study; (b) groups sponsored by an academic department where the curriculum is offered.
