ASSIGNING ROOMS & FEATURES

Ad Astra may be used for assigning departmental rooms, requesting general pool rooms, and requesting specific features.

The following are features that are available for general pool classrooms: Chalkboard, Fixed Tables & Chairs, Fixed Tablet-arm Chairs, Moveable Tables & Chairs, Moveable Tablet-arm Chairs, Whiteboard, and Window.  Please do not select any other features.

If you are having problems rooming a course in Ad Astra, please first make sure that you are in edit mode by clicking on the pencil icon that corresponds with the course that you are trying to room. If you are already in edit mode, make sure that your class cap does not exceed the cap of the room.  Ad Astra will not allow you to schedule a class in a room that is smaller than the cap of the course.

SPECIALIZED & GENERAL POOL ROOMS

• If you need a specialized room, please select the variety under 'Room Type'

• "Classroom - Computer Lab" if you need a Computer Lab. Note: please send a follow up email to arrscheduling@pdx.edu with details of the computer lab request

• "TBA" if you plan to room your course in a department room, but haven't figured it out yet and you don't want a General Pool room.

• Courses not scheduled into department space or requesting a specialized room, will automatically be roomed into general pool rooms.
