FALL 2020 

DCU Data Entry Period: June 24th - July 9th. 

Please enter your instructor names, rooms and forced times. We will not be using meet pattern or forced meet pattern times this term.  

If you have remote courses that do not have times, you can still create a delivery to add an instructor to a course. 

 
Please keep the following points in mind while entering your term information: 

• We are collecting within the DCU, if you want the time on a delivery to appear on Quest.  

  • If you have online/remote courses with times attached, if you choose not to have these times published, your instructor will be responsible for communicating this information to the students (i.e. LEARN). If you choose to have your times published in Quest you may be creating conflicts for students, so you will need to find a way to accommodate them so that student’s are not disadvantaged by having a synchronous time. 

• You cannot force off-pattern times into Registrar-managed classrooms. 

  • Please keep in mind that if your deliveries for a section are more than one day, the start time and durations entered must be the same for each day of the week. If you have different times, you must create a new delivery. 

• Both Registrar-managed rooms and faculty/department-managed rooms will seat students using 2m distancing protocols. If you are using a faculty/department-managed room, you must confirm the room capacity by having an official layout created using 2m distancing. Only designated seats will be permitted for use by students. The capacities of Registrar-managed rooms have been updated in the DCU. 

• For on campus sections the maximum number of students per section is 30. We will not schedule a class with a limit that exceeds 30 students. This is a safety protocol and will be strictly enforced. 

• Use early morning and late day times slots as often as possible. Because of the reduced room capacities and the need to schedule at least one hour in between classes, availability of teaching space is severely limited and as a result, we need to spread out in-person classes as much as possible. 

• When scheduling into your own space: 

  • If uncertain of a particular room type, go to the Rooms panel (left sidebar) and look up your room type before attempting enter the building and room number on the actual delivery in the course editing panels. 

• We are not collecting any instructor constraints, blockoffs, teaching windows, department meetings, or course combinations. If you need help finding a conflict free synchronous time please contact regstep and we will try to assist you. 

Additions/deletions/edits to sections, topics, reserves, and course capacities must be emailed to regstep@uwaterloo.ca 

The only changes that cannot be entered into the DCU is the request to add or delete courses or course sections 

Thank you so much - Happy Scheduling!
