SUBJECT:              Courses for the 2007-2008 Academic Year

DATE:                       February 20, 2007

 

Schedules for 2007-2008 academic year are due into the Registrar’s Office Wednesday March 21st by 12noon. Listed below is some information that you will find helpful in your planning, along with some reminders:

 

            Course information is to be entered on-line through the BMC Faculty menu in Peoplesoft. Instructions will be emailed to you and the faculty secretaries.

Included is a listing of your department’s courses. Note that some titles may now be inactive. This list is also available on-line through the BMC Faculty.

            Please observe the approved TIME BLOCKS as noted below.

You must consult with your counterpart Department at Haverford College. Please attach a copy of your counterpart Department’s schedule to your course schedule.

New Courses:  All new courses not previously approved by the Curriculum Committee are to be submitted to the Dean’s Office by MARCH 15th.

Please include these courses in your listing with the notation “New Course” regardless of whether or not they have been approved.

 

Limited Enrollment Courses: Please be sure to include enrollment limits and details on how enrollment will be limited. This information must be available to the students in advance of registration.  Include enrollment limits for all new courses.

 

Room Requirements/Requests:  Classroom use and scheduling must go through the Registrar’s Office.  We will make every effort to match needs with suitably equipped classrooms.  Departments may request specific classrooms/buildings for their courses, but, because of limited facilities we can not guarantee the outcome.  Willingness to teach in non-peak hours may result in a greater choice of facilities.  In addition, we cannot honor requests for individual classrooms at different time-blocks.  For example, a class that meets MW 1:00-2:30pm will be scheduled for one classroom during this time-frame for the entire semester.  Also, primary class meetings will take precedence over discussion/break out sessions for classroom assignments.

 

College Seminars (Fall semester only): Most CSEMs will be schedule on TTH 11:30-1. Please try to avoid schedule other freshman courses during this time.

 

ALL SCHEDULE INFORMATION MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE REGISTRAR’S OFFICE NO LATER THAN:  WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21st.
