Room preferences for your classroom should be included in the teaching request survey. Please note that demand for available classrooms is very high, especially during peak teaching hours. It is generally not possible to secure a particular, preferred classroom, and preferred teaching times may have to be adjusted to secure an available classroom.
Visit the Technology Classroom Database to search for general-purpose classrooms, including information on room setup and available technology.
One-time room reservations for SRH classrooms or meeting rooms can be requested by submitting a Request a Room Reservation form.

Every new undergraduate course needs to be approved by COLA before being scheduled. In addition to the course number and title, the course description should briefly describe the topic, examples of readings or texts, and a breakdown of assignments (tests, papers or projects) with their grade value. The course descriptions are signed by the chair of the department and submitted by the course scheduler to COLA.
To add a brief description of a topic course (undergraduate and graduate) on our webpage email the Course Scheduler.

Course Instructor Surveys (CIS) are required for all organized classes. You will receive an email to solicit your CIS preferences each semester.
Each instructor must confirm that the correct CIS order was placed for your course by visiting MyCIS before the end of that request period. You will receive an email reminder when it's time to complete this step.
Visit the CIS Faculty and Staff page for information on administering surveys, available survey options, dates and deadlines, and survey FAQs.

Teaching requests will be solicited by email every fall for the following academic year.
Faculty should discuss teaching preferences with their area head before submitting their teaching request survey to ensure that all curriculum needs are met.

Final exams will be scheduled according to your response to the survey at the beginning of each semester.
Once final exams have been scheduled, you can look up scheduled exams by the unique number.
The Index of Final Exams lists the general schedule of exams and can be used to project the final exam time for your syllabus.

According to HB 2504, the University of Texas at Austin must make syllabi and faculty CVs available for all undergraduate courses.

Syllabi and CVs should be submitted to the Course Scheduler by each semester's first day of classes.

The University Co-Op manages textbook requisitions. Instructors can submit their textbook orders here.
The deadline for the fall and summer semesters is April 15th. The deadline for the spring semester is October 31st.
