One instructor, one meeting pattern

Once you find the class you wish to update, select the Meetings tab. Towards the bottom of the page in the Instructors for Meeting Pattern section, you will automatically land on the Assignment tab. Some of the fields in this section will fill in automatically. Read below about the fields you need to fill in or adjust manually:

  • In the ID field, enter or look up and select the instructor for this class. If the instructor you wish to assign is not available, contact the Academic Personnel Services office at (707) 826-5086.
  • In the Access field, select Approve. This field allows the instructor to see their grade roster, and add/approve grades for the students at the end of the semester. Do NOT leave this field blank or use the other available values without contacting the academic scheduler.
  • Take a look at the automatically selected Empl Record # and the associated with it Job Code. Make sure that the Empl Record # is affiliated with the department offering the class. For further questions on Job Codes, contact the Academic Personnel Services office at (707) 826-5086.
  • If you wish to add more instructors to this class, click on the plus icon at the end of the row and follow the instructions in the Two (or more) Instructors section of this page. Follow these instructions to add a TA.

Next, click on the Workload tab. Similarly to the Assignment tab, most fields on this tab should fill in automatically, however, in some cases, variable unit classes may not need a little help. If the Work Load and Assignment FTE% fields are blank, first uncheck, then re-check the Auto Calc button between these fields. The fields should populate with the right values.

Instructor Workload 

If manipulating the Auto Calc button is not sufficient to populate the Work Load and Assignment FTE% fields, save all the changes you have made on this page, then follow this navigation:

NAVIGATION:  Main Menu > Curriculum Management > Schedule of Classes > Adjust Class Associations > Class Components tab

Once you click on the Class Components tab, you will notice a Class Components section about half-way down the page. You will also likely notice that one or both Contact and Workload Hours fields blank. Enter the appropriate values based on the number of units and the C classification of the class. Refer to this document for assistance.
