Schedule Task Force

President Barden appointed a Scheduling Task Force in February, 2006 to provide him with recommendations in a number of areas related to class scheduling. We were charged to re-examine the current daily class schedule and to make recommendations that:

Improve and simplify the complicated daily class schedule currently in place.
Appropriately accommodate the course credit changes that will results as MSUM moves to the new liberal studies/general education program.
Revisit the “prime time rule” which limits departments to scheduling no more than 60% of their classes from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Speak to the appropriateness of MSUM moving to centralized room scheduling, beyond the current change for large classrooms.
