You’re invited to the next Provost Lunch and Learn, taking place online via Teams on Thursday, Feb 6, from noon to 1 pm. The topic is ‘The Schedule of Classes: 2025 and Beyond.’
For login details, please email provost@ufv.ca.
This gathering is presented by David Johnston, University Registrar and AVP enrolment Management, and Shannon Wilson, Manager, Academic Scheduling.
Last fall, the Strategic Enrolment Management Strategic Implementation Group (SEM-SIG) completed an extensive review of our scheduling blocks and meeting patterns. This was done in support of the SEM Plan goals to “Explore the requirements to develop a student-centered timetable” and “Establish the framework for a student-centred timetable.”
Based on this review the SEM council has endorsed changes for fall 2025 implementation.
The main changes are standardized starting times, establishing permissible meeting patterns, ensuring class hours are consistent with the official course outline, and expanding the definition of hybrid instruction. While at first glance the changes may appear significant, a closer look shows that the new system is built on the foundation of the previous one, and most areas should be adaptable with only modest adjustments.
This Lunch and Learn session will provide an overview of the changes and describe how they will impact the schedule of classes (aka the timetable). This will be of interest to all academic units and those who support student registration. There will be training sessions for departmental coordinators and those closely involved with building departmental and school schedules closer to opening the system for data entry.
