Welcome to the Room Assignments Web Site We hope this Web site will make it easier for faculty, staff, affiliated Teachers College organizations, and other classroom space users to navigate their way through the Room Assignments "process." The Office of Room Assignments is located at 525 West 120th Street, Room 321 Thorndike; and is open Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. You can call us at (212) 678-3707 or send email to roomassignments@exchange.tc.columbia.edu. This is How We Work Rooms for classes and Teachers College workshops are assigned approximately one month before the start of the semester. They are requested through the departmental "RAPO" sheets. (RAPOs, or "Room Assignment Print Outs" are a green bar report sent out from the Registrar's Office to each of the academic programs. They list all the courses, and allow faculty and departmental staff the opportunity to proof course day, time, and title.) We assign rooms according to class size, and special needs. After all the courses and Teachers College events have been assigned rooms for a semester, and all the particularities have been worked out, we then work on the Room Requests. Room requests are processed on a "first come - first serve" basis. Who fills out room request forms? Suggestions for filling out a room request form
