As a means of maximizing room utilization and providing scheduling options to better
meet student needs, when offering Term I courses you must also offer Term II courses at the same time,
day, and format.  All term classes must follow start and end dates as indicated in the University
calendar.

All interim classes must follow start and end dates as indicated in the University
calendar for summer and fall.   Interim classes are generally not taught between fall
and spring semesters, thus any class request for the spring interim must be approved
by the Provost.  Faculty may only teach one interim class per any given semester (summer,
fall, or spring).

When offering classes at any of the off-campus locations, the director/liaison of
the appropriate center MUST be contacted prior to scheduling the course. All off-campus
courses must put “OFFCAMPUS” in the Facility ID box located on the meetings panel. A meeting pattern and time
must also be included.  For classes offered at the Livingston Parish Literacy and
Technology Center or the NTCC Lacombe campus, please email requests to these sites
prior to scheduling the courses to ensure a room reservation. Off campus rooms are
not scheduled using the classroom scheduling software that is used for on campus classes. 
These classes have to be scheduled manually by each site.  Scheduling a class in PeopleSoft
does not necessarily secure a room reservation at the Livingston Parish Literacy and
Technology Center and the NTCC Lacombe campus. To request a room at the Livingston
Parish Literacy and Technology Center, send an email to [email protected]. To request a room at the NTCC Lacombe campus, send an email to [email protected].

Prior approval is required before a credit course may be offered at a new off-campus
facility such as a high school or community facility. The Off-Campus Course/Facility
Request Form is located on the Provost’s web site under Resources for Faculty and
Staff-Policies and Procedures Pertaining to Academic Affairs. http://www.selu.edu/admin/provost/documents/off_campus_facility.pdf

Please allow a minimum of 30 days for approval signatures by Department Head, Dean,
Assistant Vice President for Academic Programs, and Provost. The Off-Campus Course/Facility
Request Form does not need to be completed if the course is being held at the Livingston
Parish Literacy and Technology Center or the NTCC Lacombe campus.

A class note is now required if there is pertinent information that students must
be aware of before registering for a section of a class.  Such information includes
but is not limited to: 

• Special meeting patterns that may differ from what is listed (e.g., class meets every
  other week; class meets every Monday from 9:30 – 10:45 am). You must include specific
  dates if the class does not meet every week).
• Contact information if permission to enroll is required.
• Enrollment for section is limited to a special cohort. The cohort must be indicated.

Standard meeting times for the 4-day week for summer and the 4 ½ day week for fall
are listed below.  Thank you for your cooperation in building this schedule.  If you have special room needs, please contact Tommy Cullinan, Assistant Registrar
for Registration at ext. 5568.
