The course scheduling process begins about nine months before the start of each semester when the primary course scheduler sends the area heads a first draft based on the courses taught in the previous year. The area head leads the creation of the schedule with his/her faculty. The primary course scheduler works with the area heads to check the resulting schedule for accuracy, teaching loads, and conflicts. All changes to the schedule should be completed during chair proof, about four months before the start of each semester.
Any last minute changes that need to be made after it is published on the registrar's website http://registrar.utexas.edu/schedules need to be approved by your area head and then routed to the course scheduler to process.
We follow the College of Fine Arts enrollment minimum and teaching load policies, which can be found online: http://www.utexas.edu/finearts/faculty/teaching-load-and-course-enrollment
