ECS Period 1 – Department schedulers update course information (delete, add, change). Room priority agreements honored. Departments/colleges use ECS reports to manage course input.

ECS Period 2 – ECS closed to schedulers while rooms are assigned centrally and/or by departmental R25 users .

ECS Period 3 – ECS reopens to scheduler to further update course information (cancel, add, change). Changes to meeting time(s) or enrollments > room capacity result in loss of central room assignment.

ECS Period 4 – Department schedulers continue to make changes or add courses as needed. Cancellations must be referred to colleges for approval.
