For Department Academic Schedulers
To facilitate compliance with mandates set forth in Senate Bill 1359 and the promotion of Zero Cost Course Materials (ZCCM) classes, the University Scheduling office is adjusting class schedule timelines.
The primary new element is the establishment of definitive dates as to when class schedules are due to college deans’ offices from departments, and when they are due to the Scheduling office.

- Fall schedule = 1st Wednesday in October (of previous fall)
- Spring schedule = Last Wednesday in January (of previous spring)
College Department Class Schedules Due to Deans' Offices:
- Fall schedule = 1st Friday in December
- Spring schedule = Last Friday in May
