titleQ: Where can I learn more about scheduling classes for CE?

A: You can find a full list of item types on the Scheduling Item Types page on the Knowledge Base.

titleQ: How many schedulers are there in each unit?

A: There are generally 2 schedulers per unit; this allows for the main scheduler to receive some backup help. Unit schedulers are documented here: 

CECE Schedulers (Astra and CLSS).


Expand
titleQ: Can I make changes to a class after the first day of the term?

A: Updates cannot be made to courses after the first day of the term. If the content of a course changes during the semester, the course must be cancelled; all students will then be dropped and re-added to a newly created course.

titleQ:
When can I expect changes that I made in CLSS to be updated?
  • a: All changes will update in PeopleSoft and the U's website within a few minutes. Our website will be updated with the web import on the following business day.

Q: What item types does my unit use?

A: You can find a full list of item types on the Item Type Information page on the Knowledge Base.
When will my submitted change take effect? When will my class be on the web?

A: Changes usually only take 1 business day to take effect, however, it depends on when you submitted the request. Please submit requests before 12pm on any given day to expect changes by the next business day. Otherwise, please allow for 2 business days.

  • Requests that are submitted later in the day may not be processed until the next morning depending on staff work hours and workload, which means that they won't be submitted prior to the regularly scheduled website update. In that scenario, it would be 2 business days since you submitted the request before it took effect. 


Expand
titleQ: What is the cancellation policy?

A: If any changes are made to the course or class content while the class is running, the class must be cancelled; the students will need to give consent to be enrolled in the new class. 


Expand
titleQ: How do I cancel a class?

A: If the class has already been published, you must submit a request to cancel it through the help center. It the class has not been published but has some enrollments, you will still need to submit a request. If the class has not been published and has no enrollments, then you can cancel it in CLSS. 

  • Cancelling a class through the CLSS system that has not been published but has enrollments will cause a problem where the students don't get refunded. Please submit that as a request through the help center to avoid that outcome!

titleQ: Where can I find the University's scheduling deadlines?

titleQ: How do I add a new section to an existing course in CLSS?

If you do not have access to this training course, please contact someone on the IS&T team and request access.


Expand

Expand
titleQ: The class I'm entering isn't held at 540 Arapeen or on campus. It's at a business or some other place. How do I enter that information?
