Non-Standard Meeting Patterns
- Departments must have approval of the Provost’s Office in order to schedule a class at a non-
standard time. - Specialized programs may require alternate meeting patterns to be approved by the Provost’s
Office. - A class which meets longer than the standard meeting time or that follows a non-standard meeting
pattern must not cross more than two 75-minute standard class times. Example:- Allowable: Monday 8:00am-10:45am crosses Monday/Wednesday 8:00am-9:15am and 9:30am-10:45am.
- Not Allowed: Monday 9:00am-11:45am crosses Monday/Wednesday 8:00am-9:15am, 9:30am-10:45am, and 11:00am-12:15pm.
- Classes will be allowed to meet four or five days per week if pedagogically necessary.
- Five credit hour courses require 250 minutes of instructional time per week with an additional
10-15 minute break built-in if they meet for 2.5 hours or more. Five credit hour courses must use
the standard start times and may not cross more than two 75-minute standard class times. - Five credit hour courses meeting two or three evenings per week must begin on or after 5:30 pm
and five credit hours courses meeting one day per week must begin on or after 2:00 pm - Arranged ("ARR") meeting patterns are only allowed on courses that are independent in nature,
and have no need for a general purpose classroom.
