The Build Phase is the most important step in producing a class schedule and requires the bulk of the work in CLSS, and the Registrar’s Office recognizes that additional training/work sessions are beneficial. These sessions are available to anyone who is new to schedule building in CLSS or those who would like additional training. This will be a time to share any tips or tricks learned in previous schedules and an opportunity to ask questions and work through specific department issues.
Attendees should bring a draft or spreadsheet of the planned schedule offerings for use during the training/work session along with CLSS log-in information.
