Prior Term Copy Overview:

...

  • Schedule of Classes – run for previous like term to find all sections that were cancelled (X in the Class Stat column). Use this to see if the current term needs to have sections renumbered because those cancelled sections will not carry forward. Also remove any of “Off Exchange” courses using the newly added term UW_RS_SCH_SCHEDULEOFCLASSES_SB

  • Consent Mismatch - Consents should match the catalog consent the schedule of classes consent should be changed. Run it for GRD and UG (leave SWREN as is) UW_RS_SCH_CONSENT_CHECK_LW

  • Drop Consent Mismatch - Consents should match the catalog consent the schedule of classes consent should be changed. (except Engineering; SYDE, ECE, ME, GEOE, ENVE, ect) UW_RS_SCH_CONSENT_CHK_DROP_SB

  • Grading basis doesn’t match the catalog (Exception is PD - leave that as is) UW_RS_SCH_GRD_BASIS_NE_SB

  • Unit weights don’t match the catalog, change scheduling units to match catalog units UW_RS_SCH_UNTS_NE_CAT_UNTS_SB

  • Components not in catalog but have been scheduled UW_RS_SCH_COMP_CHCK_SB

  • Primary component not graded component  UW_RS_SCH_CMPNT_MISMATCH_LW

  • Fixing mismatched class components UW_RS_SCH_MISSING_COMPONENT_JV

  • Run after above query to re-add any that were accidentally removed UW_RS_SCH_COMP_NOT_ASS_CLS_JV

  • Fixing Auto Enrol with no secondary component UW_RS_SCH_AUTO_NO_AUTO_ENRL_NP

  • Fixing reserve capacity sequence orders UW_RS_RESERVE_CAP_ORDER_NP

  • Check Combined section totals to ensure they match (create new column and add formula (=EXACT(F3,G3)) UW_RS_SCTN_CMBN_TOTALS_SB

  • Removing the TST component from online courses – it forces the departments requesting the addition to get approval from CEL (except STAT 230 and 231) - UW_RS_SCH_TRM_W_TST_COMP_S

Subject: Prior Term Copy: Fall 2023 

  

Dear Graduate and Undergraduate Scheduling Reps, 

We ran Fall 2024 Prior Term Copy last week which means you now have access to the Fall 2024 (1249) term on the Schedule of Classes.   

The following information needs to be reported to the Scheduling Office (regstep@uwaterloo.ca) by March 21, 2024: 

  • New course/section additions 

  • Course/sections deletions 

  • Topic titles 

  • Course limit adjustments 

  • Campus/locations (UW/U, AFIW sections, OFFs, CAMBRIDGE, STRATORD, KITCHENER, BLND sections, ONLN ONLINE etc.)

  • Reserve cap adjustments/deletions 

  • Course enrolment notes to appear on the Schedule of Classes  

  

Please digitally copy your Fall 2024 course information from the Schedule of Classes. Indicate any necessary changes digitally using red font.  Strike out any courses that will not be offered and edit any section limits/reserve caps, campus/locations or topic titles that need editing.  Course/section additions should be added to the bottom of your submission.  If you have courses or course sections that do not belong to you on your submission, please leave these sections as is without any markings. If you manage any heldwith courses, please contact the Scheduling Representative who schedules the course(s) held with yours to coordinate joint information.   

Please do not include meet patterns, Selected Teaching Windows, forced times, constraints, rooms or instructor information at this time.  You will enter this information, along with your course combinations, into the DCU beginning April 1, 2024  

Please remember that due to the limited number of time slots available, instructors who wish to use a 1x3 hour pattern during the day may not choose the 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. teaching window.   

As you collect your Fall 2024 scheduling information, you also need to collect constraints (course, room and instructor). Chair-approved Level 1 & 2 instructor constraints must be submitted to the Scheduling Office on the Instructor Constraint Chair Approval Form (you will enter level 3 constraints into the DCU). We have attached the Instructor Constraint Chair Approval form and the Department Meeting Request form. Instructor Constraint Guidelines for your Chair’s reference can be found here:https://uwaterloo.ca/registrar-resources/scheduling-and-examinations/instructor-constraint-guidelines  

For an overview of the scheduling cycles as well as access to detailed information on each step throughout the scheduling cycle (note that you will be asked to login to the Registrar faculty and staff resource site), please see:https://uwaterloo.ca/registrar-resources/scheduling-and-examinations/term-scheduling-cycle-tasks  

A review of some key deadlines/dates for the Fall 2024 term: 

March 4 - 22 – You will clearly markup Fall 2024 course section information on a Schedule of Classes digital copy and forward it to regstep@uwaterloo.ca 

April 1 - 16 DCU will be open for you to input meet patterns, room requests, course combinations and constraint information. 

April 18 – You will forward the Instructor Constraint Chair Approval form and any applicable Department Meeting forms to regstep@uwaterloo.ca  

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact anyone in the Scheduling Office. 

Happy scheduling! 

The Scheduling Office Team
