Section D - Class Scheduling Policies
Introduction
This section provides detailed information on the policies of class scheduling on PantherNet at Palm Beach State College. This is not a “how-to” manual of class scheduling. A manual on how to schedule classes is located in Section C of the Academic Management Manual.
Class scheduling involves many key decisions that the user must make to effectively schedule classes. These decisions determine how the class will use facilities, appear to students in the printed schedule and on the Web, and determine instructor assignments. This manual is divided into major sections that discuss in detail policies regarding class scheduling.

For example, if an administrator wants to know how many students are enrolled in e-learning classes, this question can be easily answered by searching for all classes that have the DL special designator. There is an on-line function that accomplishes this – direct command: CU CC BC SD
