Evening classes in general purpose classrooms, Monday through Thursday,
should generally be scheduled in 1 hour, 1-1/2 hour, 2 hour, or
4 hour time slots commencing at 5:30 p.m. Three-hour classes, however,
should begin at 4 p.m. or 7 p.m. or be scheduled in relation to
1-1/2 hour classes in the school to precede or follow in the same
facility.
Classes may be scheduled on Friday and Saturday in "blocks" from
8 a.m. to 11 a.m., from 11 a.m. to
2 p.m., and from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., provided rooms are available.
Courses scheduled Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 12 noon - 12:50
p.m. or Monday and Wednesday 12:30 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. must have multiple
sections, some of which are scheduled in the morning. Exception
to this restriction requires the approval of the college dean and
the University Scheduling Coordinator.
Activity classes should conform to the start times in the above
regulations where possible to insure that students are not excluded
from taking additional classes due to time conflict.
An instructional hour is defined as, and shall be limited to, 50
minutes. Therefore, a 1-1/2 hour class will meet for 1 hour, 15
minutes; a 2 hour class for 1 hour, 40 minutes; and a 3 hour class
for 2-1/2 hours, et c.
