Course Offering
Before the start of each semester, the Registrar’s Office sends a loading sheet to all schools listing the courses that were offered in the previous semester. The schools review the loading sheet (adding/removing courses as necessary) and update the data in DCU (Data Collection Utility).
Once the data is uploaded, the Scheduling Unit assigns the rooms (based on enrollment needs, room capacity, and technology requirements), and uploads the schedule to Banner before the advising period begins. Once the courses are on banner, changes are communicated by email.
The Scheduling Unit is also responsible for adding the faculty load to Banner once received from the school.
