Fall, Spring, and Summer

Hickory Campus

Fall and Spring

Priority/Partition Assignments

• Schedule courses in your classroom partitions first coordinating with other departments and with the other College/School. A list of classrooms by partition are listed below which include labs, Zoom rooms, and general classrooms equipped with specialized resources such as non-portable teaching tools, sink access, piano, etc. Note that all partitioned spaces are classrooms with specialized equipment.

• Adhere to standard meeting patterns to ensure maximum space usage in the AHC.

• Pay careful attention to Zoom room scheduling for concurrent classes offered in Hickory and in Boone. These are the Dual Campus Courses. Fill out the Paired/Grouped Course Form for the Registrar’s Office to know which courses are dual campus pairings to ensure proper preparation for these courses.

Pre-Assignment Requests

• Assignments you request outside of your partition must be approved by the Associate Deans in the Pre-Assignment process and based upon pedagogical needs. 

• Consult with the department from which you want to use the AHC classroom space, secure their permission, and submit the Pre-Assignment Request Form.

• Provide justification supporting the instructional need(s) for the space you are requesting; the justification is necessary for Associate Dean consideration.

• Pre-assignment requests will be committed to Banner for you. If your request is not approved, you will be notified.

Technology Assisted Scheduling, TAS, the Optimizer

• Results from the Hickory Optimizer run will be provided to the Associate Deans for review prior to releasing the results to 25Live.
• Check the results from the Optimizer for your department using 25Live.
