Guidelines for Computer Lab Scheduling (Room UT-141)

· Identical Time Periods: These will be limited to two per month. For example, the instructor may in advance reserve the lab for a M/W or T/R class meeting at the same time of day for only two meetings in one month. This gives everyone equal opportunity for use of the room.

· Next-Day Class Notices: One month into the semester, an instructor may inquire a day in advance about an existing vacancy. If the vacancy exists, the instructor may reserve the lab for that day and time and may continue to do so until someone requests usage for that same time period.

· Walk-up Notices: These are welcomed. The instructor may call right before a class meets or drop by the lab to see if the lab is available. Please make the request before assuming that the lab is free.

· Next-Day Class Notices and Walk-up Notices do not count as one of the two Identical Time Periods available each month.

· Evening Scheduling (after 5 p.m.): Evening instructors may reserve the classroom more than two (2) days for identical time periods, but some flexibility is wanted in case another instructor needs the room for a class. If reservations increase in the evenings, the regular scheduling procedure will be followed.

· Instructors need to know that the room is exclusively theirs when they reserve it.

· On the average, with eight M/Ws or T/Rs in a month, two days is ¼ of the M/W or T/R month, which is a significant portion of the month.
