4
Goal of block scheduling
Block Scheduling is designed to start first-time freshmen (FTF) off on the “right track” for their first quarter at Cal Poly Students are scheduled into their Fall classes based on “tracks,” which are reflections of the flowchart for majors 11/21/2018
5
process Tracks are built Schedule of Classes is built FTF are surveyed
AP scores are loaded External process is run to build schedules (generate blocks) Student and Class blocks are loaded into PeopleSoft Review and adjust schedules Student schedules are available to students 11/21/2018
6
assumptions Departments will define clear tracks by major
Track changes will be communicated within the department (i.e. Track changes are communicated to the Scheduler) Departments understand their course requirements Prerequisites Corequisites Sufficient seats will be offered for FTF, continuing, and transfer students Seats are saved for transfer students 11/21/2018
7
assumptions Departments will build schedules without course conflicts within their major courses No time conflicts between related components (i.e. lecture and lab) Schedule changes will be communicated within the department AP file will be ready to load early July FTF will submit their AP scores and any college transcripts FTF will answer survey questions FTF will have Admissions documents submitted by July 15th 11/21/2018
8
Issues we know about Late Advanced Placement (AP) scores will not be processed International Baccalaureate (IB) scores may be received late Holds on student records prevent block registration We enroll students whose holds have been removed; however, we stop right before schedules are released 11/21/2018

tracks Tracks vary in complexity between the different majors. Some majors specify exactly what classes a student must take, while other tracks account for other variables. 11/21/2018
19
tracks Tracks can also be written in a way that addresses prerequisites, course credits, and other items that affect the registration process. 11/21/2018
20
tracks Global macros Checks for prerequisites, credit, remediation, and/or milestones 11/21/2018

Track definition language
Basic Expressions Courses/GE areas ‘AERO 121’ ‘A2’ take ‘ENGL 134’ “Take one of….” (randomly) one of { ‘HIST 207’ ‘ES 112’ ‘POLS 112’ } take one of { ‘ART 112’ ‘MU 120’ ‘TH 210’ } “Take one of…” (randomly with weights) take one of { ‘COMS 101’ (60) ‘COMS 102’ (40) } 11/21/2018
22
Track definition language
Basic Expressions “Take first available…” take first available { ‘A1’ ‘ARCH 160’ ‘A2’ } first available { ‘BOT 121’ ‘BIO 161’ } “Take concurrently…” take concurrently { ‘GEOL 201’ ‘D2’ } “Take one of…” and “Take concurrently…” take concurrently { ‘course-A’ and one of { ‘course-B’ ‘course-C’ } } 11/21/2018
23
Track definition language
Conditional Expressions MATH 141/142/143 Conditional if student has credit in ‘MATH 143’ then take ‘MATH 241’ elif student has credit in ‘MATH 142’ then take ‘MATH 143’ elif student has credit in ‘MATH 141’ then take ‘MATH 142’ else take ‘MATH 141’ end if 11/21/2018
