The office of Room Assignments coordinates with Teachers College (TC) academic departments and the TC community room locations for courses, workshops, conferences and events throughout the College.
- Rooms for TC Classes:
- Rooms for classes and Teachers College workshops are assigned approximately one month before the start of the semester. They are requested through the course scheduling process on departmental "RAPOs." They list all the courses, and allow faculty and departmental staff the opportunity to provide requested room attributes.
- We assign rooms according to projected enrollment, required room attributes, and other special pre-assignment requirements.
- Due to space limitations, rooms for other uses are not assigned until after rooms have been finalized for classes, with the exception of event-only spaces.
- Once classes are assigned, all other room requests are processed on a "first-come - first serve" basis.
- Rooms for TC Workshops, Conferences and Events:
- Rooms for Teachers College workshops, conferences and events are assigned approximately one month before the start of the semester. Request are submitted on the 'Request a Room' form.
- Due to space limitations, rooms for workshops, conferences and other events are NOT assigned until rooms have been finalized for classes (exception is event-only spaces).
- Once classes are assigned, all other room requests are processed on a "first-come - first serve" basis.
