Classes scheduled that do not meet a standard meeting pattern will be monitored. If a Department needs to offer a class through a meeting pattern that is not approved, the administrator needs to request the course(s) be considered an exception by sending a memo through the Dean of the College to the Provost with details of the need to schedule ‘off grid’. Documentation of the exception along with the specific course(s) impacted must be included in the request.
