Standard Meeting Patterns
Fall & Spring

For Summer meeting patterns, click here.


Standard meeting patterns are critical to student schedules and space utilization.  Academic departments must schedule according to these standards unless a meeting pattern exception has been approved by the Academic Scheduling Committee.

Flex Delivery for Social Distancing:  When social distancing isn't possible in a classroom, "flex delivery" allows students to rotate between classroom and live stream participation. For more information, see our FAQs page.
