MANAGING RESERVED SEATS FOR ORIENTATION
NOTE: Managing reserved seats for orientation has to be done in three phases:
1. Before room scheduling: the maximum enrollment has to include both
continuing and new students.
2. Beginning of Early Registration to Orientation: maximum enrollment is set for
continuing students and projected enrollment is set higher to provide space for
new students.
3. Orientation: seats can be released gradually by adding seats to the maximum
enrollment field to let new students in.
PHASE I.
BEFORE THE ROOM SCHEDULER RUNS
1. Type SSASECT in the Go To… box.
2. Press Enter.
Schedule form will open.
3. Type in appropriate Term and CRN for which you will be reserving seats.
4. Perform Next Block twice.
Cursor will be in the Enrollment Details block.
5. Set the Maximum Enrollment so it includes both continuing and newly admitted
students.
NOTE: This is important because the mass room scheduler will assign a room that is big
enough to accommodate the maximum number of students who can register for the class.
If you only include the continuing students in this field you will probably end up getting a
smaller room than needed.
6. Click Save.
PHASE II.
AFTER MASS ROOM SCHEDULING / EARLY REGISTRATION TO ORIENTATION
1. Type SSASECT in the Go To… box then click on the Section Enrollment Information tab.
Stay on the Enrollment Details sub-tab.
2. Enter the Maximum field’s number in the Projected field (top right). This number
includes both continuing and new students allowed to register for this section.
3. Decide how many seats you will offer for:
a. Continuing students
b. Orientation
4. Delete the number from the Maximum field and enter the amount of seats offered for
continuing students during early registration.
5. The difference between the Maximum and Projected fields will be the amount of seats
reserved for orientation.
6. Click Save.
PHASE III.
RELEASING SEATS FOR ORIENTATION
1. Go back to Section Enrollment Information tab.
2. Add seats to the Maximum field by keeping the Projected field constant (continuing and
new students together).
You can gradually “release” seats: add only a certain number at a day until you reach the
amount of seats in the Projected field.
3. Click Save.
