Good morning,
Classroom assignments for Summer 2025 have been posted, and instructors of those courses will be notified shortly.
There are three locations where you may view the section information for your classes:
- Course Roster in ESTHER: This will contain the section meeting date/time and location. This is the most efficient way to find your section meeting date/time and location.
- Banner Course Search: This will contain the section meeting date/time and location.
- Course Schedule: This will contain the section meeting date/time only; it does not include the meeting location.
If you would like to request an adjustment to the assigned room, please go into CourseLeaf CLSS, make a comment describing the request in the Comments section, and submit. We will address the requests as we receive them, but we would ask for some patience in processing them as the classroom landscape for Summer 2025 is very tight and will require some creative problem-solving for requests during some Summer Sessions.
If you have not done so already and have courses in a Department Controlled Room, please enter the room assignment in Comments by May 2, 2025, so that we can get those posted as well.
Reminders
Please remember that you will be restricted in what you can do in CLSS for sections that have enrollment. For any section or cross-list group that has at least one student enrolled, you will not be able to change: instructional method, meeting time, part of term (session), status (from active to canceled), and waitlist information. (Important: if you have a waitlist on your course and enrollment exists, you will not be able to remove it, although you will be able to add one.) If you need to update a restricted value when enrollment exists, you will need to:
- Drop max enrollment to 0.
- Notify all students to drop the section. (If they are to register for another section, also notify them to register for that new section, which you should create before emailing them.)
- Cancel the section by changing the Status to “Cancelled” once all students have dropped the section. If you have notified students and several days have passed, but there is still registration in the section, please contact us (registrar@rice.edu), and we may be able to expedite the drop process.
For more information about Summer 2025 Course Scheduling, please visit the Summer Sessions Information Page.
If you have any questions or need further assistance, you may respond to this email, and it will be directed to the appropriate staff member. Thank you for your prompt attention and cooperation.
Thank you,
Office of the Registrar
