7. Type in the Subject, Catalog Number, Section Number, and Class Number in the first field
Example: BUS 100 (01) 41234
8. Type/Paste in the Class Title/Description in the Class Title field.
This is another way that can help Academic Scheduling to identify the class if there is a mistake in the previous field. It is not absolutely necessary, but appreciated.
9. In the Type dropdown box, click on the Room Change Request option.
This should be the only option available.
10. In the Department section, use the PeopleSoft numbered code for Dept
In PSoft this is referred to as the "Academic Org" and always includes a number a hyphen and the main subj code. Example: 161 - BUS
11. In the Class Capacity field, input the Requested Room Size for the Class
This is the Enrollment Capacity of the Class
12. Input the first date the class meets in the "Class Date and Time" field
Fall 2022 starts on Monday, 8/29/2022; however, use the date of the first class meeting. Example: If it is a Tuesday/Thursday class, the first meeting is Tues, 08/30/2022
You can type/paste in the shortened form of the date, like "8/30/2022" or use the drop down calendar to enter it in.
13. Input the Start time of the class in the next field
We highly recommend using military time, like "1730" instead of "5:30 PM"
14. Input the End time of the class in the following field
Again, we highly recommend using military time, like "1845" instead of "6:45 PM"
15. Click on Repeating Pattern
ALWAYS use Repeating Pattern during Classroom Rush. Classes always repeat.
16. When the new window comes up, Click on the drop down
Choose "Weekly"
17. Check the days of the week that the class will meet
18. Use the "Repeats through" option and type in the final day of the semester
In this case, the last day of the class does not matter if it is a full semester class, go ahead and just put the last date of the term.
19. The final day of Fall 2022 is Dec 10, 2022
20. Click on Select Pattern
21. Make sure Hide Conflicts is checked
22. Make sure Enforce Headcount is also checked
23. Use the Saved Searches feature to bring up the Stratum Search
Using the shared search is optional, but it will likely get you the highest number of available results.
You can also search by category or by specific location by typing it into the "Search Locations" field.
24. Click Search.
25. In the search results, click on the green Reserve button next to the room desired.
If you do not see the class or do not see the green Reserve button, it means the room is not available for the time or capacity of the class.
26. The room will now show under the Locations search section.
27. Class State Section
Before Classroom Rush always use "Draft"
During Classroom Rush, use "Confirmed"
28. Click on Save at the bottom
29. This will take you to a summary page for your class (or event).
30. Click on Occurrences
ALWAYS go to Occurrences to make sure you have assigned the space to your class (or event)
31. Next, use the "... Occurrences" link to view all
32. Pay attention to the color of the cubes.
GREY CUBE - the room listed is NOT being held
BLUE CUBE - the room listed is SAVED and you are done with this class
33. Once you are done with the Draft, save the Reference Number
The reference number is the easiest way to go directly to this event draft again. You can also use the Event Search (see that process guide on Classroom Rush webpage).
