5. Policy Details
Each school and department must distribute its course offerings over all five days of the week and over the full day from 8am through 5pm. A grid of time modules (see Section 9. Related Information below) has been set up for departments to use so that course conflicts will be minimized and student opportunity to choose is maximized.
This method of uniform scheduling will help us meet our responsibility to provide students with the widest opportunities for selecting course offerings at USC. General use and dedicated classrooms within a school or department must adhere to the time blocks established within the scheduling procedures.
