The Office of the Registrar is responsible for academic scheduling at the University of Oregon. Classes are scheduled in classrooms based on class size, equipment needed, and availability. Departments with dedicated seminar rooms are required to use their rooms for smaller classes and meetings rather than requesting other room assignments on campus.
Departments should identify one staff member to communicate scheduling needs with the Office of the Registrar. The annual calendar with scheduling dates and deadlines helps guide the process for collaboration. Academic departments are responsible for providing the information to the Registrar on time and following up when courses are cancelled to ensure space is utilized appropriately.
On occasion, deans, the registrar, and/or the Provost's Office may be involved in solving challenges in academic scheduling.
