With the Fall 2017 semester now underway, we would like to warmly welcome everyone to campus and share a few general classroom policy reminders aimed to assist us in providing the best possible student learning experience.
The Big 5 Guidelines for Use of General Classrooms:
1. Food and drinks are not allowed in general classrooms.
2. Do not move furniture in or out of classrooms. Manipulating the number of desks in the general classrooms can cause disruptions for colleagues who teach in the same spaces later in the day or week and may violate safety codes. Academic Scheduling conducts classroom inventory at the conclusion of each term and restores classrooms to their approved configurations. At that time, seating deficiencies are also addressed. If you newly discover missing seats or broken items please contact Adrienne Sims at extension 5593 or Joan Green at extension 3087, or email academicscheduling@siue.edu.
3. If you rearrange classroom furniture during the course of a class or event, please return the desks/seating to the original configuration by your scheduled end time. It is of particular importance that ADA seating is returned to the precise location where it began.
4. Do not occupy a room that has not been scheduled for your class or group or switch to an alternate room from the one assigned unless it has been approved by Academic Scheduling. If your assigned classroom is not meeting instructional needs, please contact academicscheduling@siue.edu, and we will determine how best to address your specific needs.
5. Do not occupy classrooms any longer than the approved, scheduled end time for your class or event. If you’ve scheduled a general classroom for a non-academic event, bring a copy of your reservation confirmation from Academic Scheduling as proof of scheduling.
If you have any problems with your classroom, please contact Academic Scheduling. We will do our best to address any issues that you may be having. Additionally, if there are items that you would like to have in the general classrooms to improve the functionality of the space, please let us know by using the Classroom Items Request form on the Registrar’s website.
Although we cannot guarantee that every request will be granted, we remain committed to exploring ways of improving classroom accommodations. For additional academic scheduling resources, please visit:
