Protocol for Classroom Relocations
The Registrar's Office makes every effort to avoid having to relocate a course. However, circumstances do arise that can make relocation unavoidable.
Examples include, but are not limited to, shifting enrollments that can occur during the registration process at the start of each semester; requests from the Office of Disability Services to provide an accommodation for a student; or pending repairs by University Facilities to essential systems and services such as elevators, restrooms, plumbing, etc.
Communicating a Relocation
When relocation becomes unavoidable, the Registrar’s Office will promptly inform the course instructor about the details of the relocation in a manner that ensures the smoothest possible transition to the new location. This protocol will be followed regardless of which administrative division initiates the relocation.
In turn, the course instructor will inform their students of the relocation. The Registrar's Office recommends to instructors that they email the entire class as soon as the relocation is confirmed. The Registrar's Office supports the instructor’s ability to keep their students informed by providing them with all the pertinent details of the relocation.
It is always the course instructor's responsibility to inform students of any relocation information. Instructors may contact the Registrar's Office with any questions they may have.
In cases of relocations initiated by the Office of Disability Services, and for reasons of confidentiality and the privacy of the student(s) involved, the Office of Disability Services respectfully requests that instructors do not inform students that a relocation has been prompted because of a student accommodation.
