5. If a class meets at different hours on different days, add a work record to show correct utilization unless recorded on SOFF • Two courses meeting in the same room and at the same time should be combined to show only one work record on the report • Compare the number of stations listed for each room on your Building Characteristic Report against the number of students enrolled in each class to make sure that the number of stations have not been exceeded (this is closely monitored) • Use the Used/Unused Teaching Area Check List for the previous year (supplied by the Commission) to check off which rooms were used and determine any unused rooms that you want to show utilization in. • Print a Course Section Schedule (CSSC) to compare to your report to ensure that all sections meeting criteria were included. • Check for conflicts in building and room assignments.

6. Run CCSC to print a Course Schedule Curriculum – use term 2006FAContinuing Education – use terms 2006CE3, 2007CE1, & 2007CE2

7. Additional selection criteria for CSSC

8. The ISUR is located in the ST application in Colleague. The path is ST-XSTM-XXRS-XXIS

9. The first step in producing your ISUR report is to generate a work file of records to include on the report. Enter XXIW mnemonic. Reporting Terms for 2007 2007CE3 2007FA Course Sections to Exclude… Any sections meeting in the same room at the same time Be sure to exclude only one of the concurrent sections here Locations to Exclude Any locations from LOCN that are not owned/leased by the institution Answer Yes

10. Additional Selection Criteria for the XXIW screen This gives you all sections with a status of A (active) and all sections which met for a duration of 8 weeks or more

11. Go to LOCN to find your valid location codes to exclude Codes to Exclude are… for property NOT owned/leased by the institution

12. The location code must be completed on the SECT screen

13. The Output Device screen displays next. The output for this report consists of an error and an exception report, if applicable .

14. The XXIW – Report Mode screen is displayed. Leave all fields as they are and select the Save icon.

15. INSTRUCTIONAL SPACE UTILIZATION EXCEPTION REPORTThe following exceptions occurred when creating the work file for this report. Exceptions will not prevent the work file from being built, but the records with exceptions may not be included in it.

16. Correct all errors (work file will not build with any errors) • Correct any exceptions that you can in your sections • Run XXIC (Inst Space Work File Clear) to start over after corrections are made. • Run XXIW (ISU Build Work File) be sure to use same criteria as before • Run XXIR (Inst Space Utilization) to generate your report

17. Correcting Errors No building specified… No room specified…Correcting Exceptions No meeting times … No valid meeting times… Enter Y here to correct...no valid meeting times error

18. Correcting Exceptions No instructor specified … Every section should have an instructor/faculty member assigned, even sections taught by a PSA, you do not have to enter the payroll info but you do have to enter the instructor’s name. (go to FCTY to make vendors a faculty member for PSA’s)

19. Run XXIC to clear your work file after exceptions have been corrected in your SECT or SOFF screens

20. Next, run XXIW to build your work file again! Reporting Terms for 2007 2007CE3 2007FA Course Sections to Exclude… Any sections meeting in the same room at the same time Be sure to include only one of the concurrent sections here Locations to Exclude Any locations from LOCN that are not owned/leased by the institution Answer Yes

21. Additional Selection Criteria for the XXIW screen This gives you all sections with a status of A (active) and all sections which met for a duration of 8 weeks or more

22. Next, run XXIR to generate a report Be certain to mark…Send Out File to “No” until you’re ready to submit your final report to the Commission.

23. Sample XXIR (instructional space utilization) report This is the work file record id that you use on XXID

24. Run XXID to Modify the Work File You can correct or add work file records from this screen

25. Sample Completed XXID

26. Reasons to modify work file records • Sections which meet concurrently – change number of students enrolled. • Adjust number of students in GED Testing sections to avg. number of students attending at any given time during the semester. • Sections which meet for more than 4 hrs. in length - add another work record to include additional hours.

27. Split number of students between rooms for partitioned classrooms. • Correct conflicts in room assignments. • Add piggy back scheduling sections (series of short sections meeting less than 8 wks in same room) . • Add sections with Spring or Summer reporting terms which met for at least 8 weeks during Fall term.

28. Run a Section Roster (SROS) to help you when combining sections or averaging students

29. Sample – Section Roster

30. To average GED Testing sections… Total # of students enrolled ÷ 16 weeks = Avg. # of students per week To average “Piggy back” sections… Total # of students in each section ÷ # of sections included in the piggy back = Avg. # of students Room utilization credit is given for a series of short courses/labs meeting in a given room over a period of at least 8 weeks…referred to as “piggy back” scheduling.

31. Items – WITH SEC.TERM = “2006CE3” AND WITH SEC.NO.WEEKS < “8” AND WITH SEC.LOCATION LIKE “1” “2” “8” “9” AND WITH SEC.CURRENT.STATUS EQ “A” Output – SEC.TERM SEC.SUBJECT SEC.COURSE.NUMBER SEC.NO SEC.SHORT.TITLE SEC.START.DATE SEC.END.DATE SEC.MEETING.DAYS SEC.NO.WEEKS SEC.ACTIVE.STUDENT.COUNT XSEC.BUILDING SEC.LOCATION XSEC.ROOM XSEC.ROOMS.ID Query for Piggy Back Scheduling(series of short courses meeting in a given room over a period of at least 8 weeks – weeks have to be consecutive)

32. Sample Piggy Back Spreadsheet (export to Excel then clean it up so it can be sorted and days & times added)

33. Run Course Section Schedule (CSSC) to determine if you have any Spring or Summer sections which met for at least 8 weeks of previous Fall Term, if so add a work record Terms enter: 2007CE1 & 2007CE2 Locations enter: All locations for properties owned or leased by your institution
