Departmental and college course schedulers play an important role in the implementation of the core curriculum and flagged courses. In addition to scheduling core courses offered within the departments, schedulers typically help their departments manage the process of getting Flags applied to their courses:
- Notifying faculty of Flag proposal deadlines and procedures
- Ensuring that faculty have accurate course numbers, topic numbers, and titles when they propose a course for a Flag
- Notifying the Center for the Skills & Experience Flags (CSEF) when course numbers change or new topic numbers are created so the courses can continue to be flagged under the new numbers
- Checking that Flags are being accurately applied as course sections are created during the original and chair’s proof phases
- Notifying the CSEF if the department does not want an approved Flag applied to a given section in a given semester
- Coordinate cross-listed Flags with other departments
- Paying attention to the class size and instructor-to-student ratio of courses with Writing Flags, to ensure that they fall within the guidelines provided by the Writing Flag Committee on Class Size for Writing Flag Courses
