We hope this Web site will make it easier for faculty, staff, students, 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 AJ Stachelek, Interim Assistant for Room Assignments at roomassignments@tc.columbia.edu.
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.
