Course Scheduling

Projected Course Offerings

The PRCO screen was created to assist in developing projected course offerings by allowing departments to easily identify the frequency of their course offerings and to update projected course offerings for up to six terms beyond the current term. PRCO also displays the number of students who have a specific course on their student degree plan for a given term.

The PRCO screen is divided into two main sections: Frequency and Projected Terms Offered. The Frequency section is sub-divided into Years and Terms. Under the Frequency Years column you are able to indicate if a course is usually offered during every year, even years, odd years, or varying years. Under the Frequency Terms column you are able to indicate if a course is usually offered every fall, spring and/or summer term. The Projected Terms Offered section allows you to identify the specific terms that a course will be offered; however, if the class schedule has already been built for a specific term, you will not be able to make changes to that term on PRCO. After the end of each semester, you will receive an email notification that it is time to review and update the projected course offerings for your department.

Building the Master Schedule

Departments build the schedule online using the Master Schedule File Start (MSFS) and Master Schedule File Build (MSFB) screens available through 澳门六合彩历史记录P. Courses are generated based on the information identified on PRCO and MSFS for the given term. Macomb campus, 澳门六合彩历史记录-Quad Cities, off-campus, video conference (CODEC), and online course information should be submitted together on the MSFB screen.

Classroom Scheduling

Classroom assignment reports are distributed to departments with the Master Schedule File Build screen instructions.

General Usage Academic Classrooms

General usage academic classrooms are scheduled through the Office of the Registrar. Your courses will be given first priority to use your assigned rooms when preparing the class schedule. After the class schedule has been finalized, our office will assign other classes/activities into these room as needed. Therefore, you must contact the Office of the Registrar to check on availability BEFORE using a room.

All Other Types of Classrooms

Departments are responsible for contacting the appropriate scheduling office for all other types of rooms.

Unit of Credit Definition

A credit hour (elsewhere referred to in this document as s.h. or semester hour) shall be the unit of University academic credit representing an average of three hours of work per week by a student throughout a fifteen-week (fall, spring) semester (exclusive of final examination period) or its equivalent in total work for summer session or irregularly scheduled courses. Specifically, and consistent with U.S. Department of Education Program Integrity Rules published October 29, 2010, 澳门六合彩历史记录 defines a credit hour as:

"an amount of work represented in intended learning outcomes and verified by evidence of student achievement that is an institutionally established equivalency that reasonably approximates not less than

(1) One hour of classroom or direct faculty instruction and a minimum of two hours of out of class student work each week for approximately fifteen weeks for one semester or trimester hour of credit, or ten to twelve weeks for one quarter hour of credit, or the equivalent amount of work over a different amount of time; or

(2) At least an equivalent amount of work as required in paragraph (1) of this definition for other academic activities as established by the institution, including laboratory work, internships, practica, studio work, and other academic work leading to the award of credit hours."

For traditional lecture, seminar, special topics, and experimental courses, a one credit hour class meets a minimum of 50 minutes per week over the course of the semester. Laboratory courses, including music ensembles and applied study, typically meet a minimum of 100 minutes per week for one credit hour. Internships and student teaching generally require at least one full-time five-day week of the experience for one credit hour. Credit for clinical or practicum experience is determined in accordance with recommendations of the program's specific accrediting body or applicable state regulation. NOTE: The definition of faculty workload is outlined in the bargaining agreement.

This credit hour policy applies to all courses that award academic credit, regardless of the location of the course or the mode of delivery, including, but not limited to, individual study, independent study, online, hybrid, and distance education courses.

Approval authorities at 澳门六合彩历史记录, to include administration and curriculum committees, are charged with following the policy on credit hours in their review and approval of all courses and certifying that the expected student learning for the course meets the credit hour standard. The determination of credit hours is made when a new course or a revision to an existing course is proposed. The submitted syllabus is examined for contact time as well as for assignments and evaluation mechanisms. 澳门六合彩历史记录 collects and manages data on all courses to ensure, through periodic checks, that there is compliance and consistency with the credit hour policy.
