News from the Scheduling Office

FALL 2009 QUARTER STARTS ON SEPTEMBER 21, 2009
Please refer to SIS if you have questions about the location of a class; any room changes and cancellations are always documented in SIS.  The De Anza College website does not contain live class data, it is updated from SIS once a day.  To reduce confusion to students, the Scheduling Office strongly advise instructors to hold the first class meeting in the originally assigned space before moving to the new location. Want to add additional sections for the fall quarter?  There are still classroom spaces available, click here to see the complete list or use the Master Calendar to find a location.

WINTER 2010 SCHEDULE PRODUCTION
Time is running out!  Winter 2010 class schedule is due September 28, 2009.  If you have any questions or concerns please contact Jane Swanson (x8934). 

New Class Scheduling Template Starting Winter 2010 On August 12, 2009, the Vice President of Instruction issued a college wide regulation requiring that all classes MUST ADHERE to the start and end times listed in this scheduling template, effective Winter 2010.  Any exceptions require prior approval from the Vice President of Instruction.  Compliance with the template ensures that classes are scheduled according to Title 5 Education Code to properly include break and passing time.  The template also allows continuation of block scheduling, but it maximizes usage of De Anza’s limited classroom spaces, especially multimedia rooms.  If you have questions or need assistance understanding the template please contact the Scheduling Office or Dr. Stephanie Sherman. 

What is Banner?Banner is the new Student/HR/Finance system that will be replacing SIS, which is more than ten years old and is no longer supported. Both the scheduling and catalog offices are sorting through data, and learning the nuts and bolts of Banner system. Data will be in place and Banner would be available to division schedulers for training during winter 2010 quarter. Information will be posted to this website as the training period approaches and as we dive deeper into Banner System.
