Academic Scheduling and Classroom Reservations
Academic Scheduling includes instructional formats that are approved by the Committee on Courses of Instruction and in which students enroll for academic credit. Events other than regular class meetings or final exams (such as review sessions, conferences, and meetings) fall under Classroom Reservations.
- To book a room for general use, contact Berkeley Event Services Classroom Reservations.
- To book a room for Academic Scheduling (i.e., for classes that meet for 15 weeks), contact the Office of the Registrar Academic Scheduling staff at scheduling@berkeley.edu.
Classroom scheduling occurs in two main phases: Priority Phase and Manual Phase.
- Priority Phase: Department schedulers enter general assignment classroom requests in Campus Solutions. After the request deadline, the Office of the Registrar temporarily shuts off department schedulers’ update access to the relevant term, reviews requests to enforce compliance with scheduling policies, and runs the algorithm that batch assigns rooms to classes.
- Manual Phase: Once the algorithm has been run, department schedulers’ update access to Campus Solutions is reinstated. All subsequent room requests must be submitted individually via the GT eForm in Campus Solutions and will be processed manually by Classroom Scheduling staff in the order received. Unplaced classes should be resolved before the schedule is published, approximately two weeks before the start of enrollment.
