North Dakota State University

Registration and Records is the primary room scheduler for course scheduling and event reservations within classrooms.

Registration & Records utilizes a room scheduling software to ensure the optimization of classroom usage.  In determining assignments, the following goals are taken into consideration:

• Maximize seat fill percentage (room types & room size)
• Evenly schedule courses throughout the day/week
• Instructional needs
• Location preferences

Academic departments will have the opportunity to provide course location edits for an upcoming term. If a non-specialized classroom is needed, the classroom assignment will be automated during the optimization process. Instructors should log into Campus Connection each term to confirm their classroom location.
