New Dashboard: Class Meeting Timeblocks

A new dashboard, Class Meeting Timeblocks, is available in Campus Data Warehouse to support planning and analysis, combining class scheduled meeting patterns, building and room usage, and campus approved timeblock alignment in one place. The new dashboar is designed to support academic scheduling, space utilization, and student-centered planning of course curriculum and scheduling. 

This dashboard helps you answer questions like:

How are classes scheduled across the week?

  • What are the most popular and least used days and class times?

  • When does the campus experience peak scheduling demand?

  • Where is there additional capacity during the instructional week?

How are classrooms and buildings being used?

  • Which buildings and rooms are used most frequently for instruction?

  • What subjects or departments rely most heavily on specific facilities?

  • When are rooms underutilized or not scheduled for classes?

How do scheduling patterns differ by subject, level, or modality?

  • Do lower-division and upper-division courses meet at different times?

  • How do in-person, hybrid, and specialized spaces (e.g., computer labs) differ in usage?

  • Are there less common meeting patterns that impact space sharing or availability?

How compliant are class meeting times with approved timeblocks?

  • What percentage of class sections meet campus approved timeblocks?

  • What are the most common reasons classes fall outside approved patterns?

  • How does compliance with approved timeblocks vary by college, department, building, or day of the week?

How might scheduling affect student pathways?

  • Do required courses overlap in ways that create conflicts for students?

  • Are there opportunities to reduce bottlenecks through schedule adjustments?

  • How can data support pathway-aligned scheduling decisions?
