Departments must distribute classes across all five days of the week (approximately 20 percent per day) and across the full class day (according to the percentages defined for each zone). Zone Guidelines
Five zones. Fifth zone is optional but part of the teaching day and should be utilized when possible. All classes comply with the zones regardless of classroom assignment. Zone Guidelines
Classes longer than two hours (longer than 110 minutes) per session must be scheduled in Zones 3, 4, or 5. Zone Guidelines
Class meeting times may not cross zone boundaries Except classes that meet for longer than two hours may meet in Zones 3, 4, or 5 Except 500- or 600-level graduate classes that meet longer than two hours per session if they use their own department-controlled classroom. Zone Guidelines
Non-credit sections are scheduled after all credit-bearing sections are assigned rooms. Use of classroom facilities for non-academic events must be approved and assigned by Schedule Desk. Zone Guidelines
Classes that meet two days per week for 1 hour and 20 minutes must begin on the first hour of the zone, or at 1200 in Zone 2. Zone Guidelines
Classes may not begin on the half hour, except – Zone 1, where 1 hour and 20 minute classes may begin at 0830, and Zone 4, where classes may begin at 1730. Zone Guidelines
