CBAS and SZASECT Guide for Schedule Build and Classroom Scheduling

Classroom Scheduling Process begins:

• A call for Large General Classroom requests (60+ seats) will be made by the Associate Deans
• SZASECT is available for changes to courses tied to labs that do not require Dean Approval; building/rooms for these courses are rolled in Banner from previous Spring and are changeable in SZASECT; changes requiring Dean Approval proceed through CBAS
• SZASECT is available through September 29 for courses coded as LEC, SEM, WEH, and WLH which are not tied to labs;building/rooms for these courses do not roll in Banner from the previous Spring; these courses are subject to Technology Assisted Scheduling (TAS) and follow these classroom scheduling steps:
  • Priority/Partition Assignments can be made in SZASECT until September 29
  • Pre-Assignment Requests for space outside of department partitions can be made through September 17 in the Pre-Assignment Request Form for the Associate Deans' consideration 
  • Standard Paired/Grouped Course Form Use this form to indicate paired, grouped or dual campus courses. If you have included the pairings/groupings in your CBAS submissions, then there is no need to duplicate your efforts. You can review the Cross List field in SZASECT to determine if this information has been noted during the schedule build process.
  • Optimizer/TAS Courses without a building and room at the close of the classroom scheduling season, September 29, will be placed into the Optimizer to be assigned a classroom with Technology Assisted Scheduling (TAS); check the Optimizer results for classroom placements; use the Classroom Change Request Form after TAS is performed since SZASECT will be closed to building and room changes

Courses in CBAS must be cleared through the Dean level with no remaining edits in the CBAS approval queue

Courses left unapproved by the Dean will not be processed until after October 10
