There are three primary milestones of course and class scheduling:

Course Maintenance: before the course catalog is created for the upcoming year in a process called prior term copy, where the current academic year is rolled forward to populate the following year's classes, course inventory should be carefully reviewed and revised. Deadline: Prior Term Copy

Expected revisions include: 

• activating new courses
• inactivating retired courses
• updating elements of a course (titles, descriptions, units, grading bases, repeatability)
• adding/removing crosslistings

Priority Room Scheduling: most School of Medicine (SoM) classes meet in Med building spaces, some meet in department controlled spaces, and by exception, some meet in main campus classrooms. Medscheduler assigns rooms bi-annually, additional information regarding the room scheduling process is available at the Medscheduler website. Class meeting patterns, the maximum enrollment capacity, preferred room capacity and at least one SOM room feature must be entered into Coursedog by the room scheduling deadline to be assigned a space. Deadline: Autumn/Winter: 06/30/2023; Spring/Summer: 11/10/2023.

Final review: there are a subset of data, while not needed for Priority Room Scheduling, that are important to review and to have accurate prior to when student enrollment planning opens. Deadline: Autumn: 08/24/2023; Winter: 11/21/2023; Spring: 02/29/2024; Summer: 04/11/2024.
