Class Scheduling Timeline
Next fall ASU will fully use the Oracle/PeopleSoft Campus Solutions product for student
administration processes. The OASIS team is leading the effort to implement this new software
for ASU. One of the first activities that must be completed in PeopleSoft is building the class
schedule. Many schedulers are actively working the product now to build the class schedule.
This is a new method for requesting classes. The printed class skeletons and class request
forms are no longer the method to request classes.
The OASIS team has extended the deadline for requesting classes until November 17, 2006. A
general timeline for building the class schedule follows.
Now – 11/17/06
Request Fall 2006 Class Schedule using a copy of the class
schedule from last fall department schedulers work in PeopleSoft to
build classes.
11/20/06 – 12/10/06
Rooms are Assigned using the new room scheduling system Ad
Astra, rooms are assigned to the classes requested based on room
characteristics and scheduling algorithms. Department schedulers
are not active in the PeopleSoft system. Academic Scheduling
office fine tunes room assignments. Those departments that
schedule selected rooms work in Ad Astra.
12/11/06 – 1/2/07
Department Validation: This step is more extensive than the
former “proofing” step. In addition to making corrections and
adjustments, departments will assign sections to special cohort
groups and validate course requirement rules.
1/3/07 – 01/25/07
Administrative Validation: Administrative offices confirm class
fees, funding codes, associated sections and component
structures.
01/29/07
Release schedule to advisors: Advisors have an early view of
the class schedule as advising sessions commence for Fall 2007.
02/15/07
Class Schedule Released: Class schedule is available on the
web for faculty, staff and the general public.
Departments are playing an active role in the scheduling process and will use the PeopleSoft
system to do this rather than the former paper-based process. If you have questions about the
new system or procedures please contact the Academic Scheduling office.
