When are large capacity, special requests, and physical limitations requests due?
All of the above requests can be found on the class scheduling timetable guideline. The dates are subject to change. Always consult the website for the most up-to-date version of this timetable.
Can I view the layout, features, and capacity of a classroom?
Yes! On the main 25Live dashboard, enter the bldg and room number (ex. CPR 103) in the Locations box and search (or enter). Select the room number in the search results. Details of the classroom including the layout, features, and the capacity will be displayed. To zoom in on the room, click on the photo. If there isn't a photo of the space, the room information has not been fully implemented.
How can I verify where a class is scheduled?
On the main 25Live dashboard, enter the 5-digit CRN in the Event box and search (or enter). Click the FUTURE button to prevent an old course from a prior term with the same CRN from appearing. The location can be viewed in the search results. You can click on CALENDAR for a different view of the days/times.
Can I request a room for a class using 25Live?
No. Requesting a room within 25Live is only for events. You may find it helpful to utilize 25Live to see what spaces are available, but the request for a room for a class must be made by pinging us in the Academic Scheduler TEAMS channel or emailing askspace@usf.edu.
25Live and Banner "talk" to each other via software called Lynx. Due to the complexities and nuances of this software, rooms for classes can only be scheduled in 25Live by the Space & Scheduling team.
WARNING: Scheduling a course using the Event tool will only cause errors which breaks the Lynx connection and could result in dangerous doublebookings.
Can I change my classroom in 25Live?
No. You may view available spaces using 25Live, but if you need to request a different room you will need to use the Academic Scheduler TEAMS channel or email askspace@usf.edu. Please remember that rooms for classes may only be changed if there is a need for a faculty accommodation or the current room does not match the pedagogy of the course.
What about alternative calendar classes that don't meet regularly all semester? Are these listed in 25Live and how should Banner look?
Alternative calendar courses do not follow typical meeting patterns and do not meet the entire term. When 25Live receives the information from Banner via the Lynx software, the system assumes the course is meeting the entire term. Therefore, to avoid conflicts and inaccurate schedules of rooms, any alternative calendar courses with a non-standard meeting pattern are entered in 25Live as events by the Space & Scheduling team.
The building and room assignment in Banner should be listed as TBA% TBA (% is T, S, P depending on campus). The actual room assignment should be added to the comments of the section on SSATEXT in Banner.
