OCM begins audits in PantherSoft, sends term course information to 25Live and
assigns classrooms using Sched25/Optimizer. This process takes several weeks. OCM
will contact Colleges/Departments regarding large classes without room assignments
and then smaller classes so these may be adjusted to gain room assignments. Once
completed, work on Help Desk tickets will begin in the order received.
