Meeting Information

Meeting Days & Times

Identifies the meeting pattern for a class.

  • Some sections may have multiple meeting patterns with distinct rooms and meeting dates listed.
  • If TBA is listed, there are no scheduled class meetings for the meeting pattern.  Examples of classes without scheduled meetings include fully online classes without virtual meetings ("asynchronous"), experiential-based classes (e.g., internship), and independent study classes. 

Room

Identifies where the class is meeting if there are meeting days & times.

  • Classes scheduled to have virtual ("synchronous") meetings will have meeting days & times with Distance Learning as the room.
  • If there are meeting days & times listed and the room is TBA, a classroom has not yet been assigned to the class, but it is currently scheduled to meet in-person.

Meeting Dates

Identifies dates of the class.  In most cases, these will align with the semester dates, although some classes only meet for a portion of the semester or on select dates during the semester.
