Pilot Program
Starting with Summer 2011 we are piloting a process that will roll Facility IDs.•Remember Facility IDs roll with the individual section, NOT the instructors.•Exception – if your class was held in a “pilot” room the previous like term, those Facility IDs were not rolled.•The Facility ID pilot is in effect for Summer/Fall ‘11 ONLY.
We will revisit this process to determine if we should continue in future terms.

each term
• For each Cross-listed Course there is one LEAD department.• LEAD Department is responsible for communicating details about the
cross-listed offerings between other departments and the Registrar’s Office.
• Both Cross-listed and non Cross-listed classes share the same instructor & the same room.
• Both types are considered Combined Sections in SA.
