  • Enrollment Information
    • Enrollment
      • Before the semester begins, there is the number of students enrolled in the instructional offering in the last like semester (and the column header in the table is "Last Enrollment")
      • When enrollment numbers are known for the given semester, these numbers are published here (and the column header is changed to "Enrollment")
        
      • Cannot be edited in this application

    • Room Ratio
      • The ratio of the required room size to the class limit
        • Room Ratio = Room Size / Limit per Class
      • Values
        • If the column is empty for a given class, it means that the room ratio is 1 (the most common value)
        • N/A is displayed when no room is used for a class (for example, if the class has arranged hours)
        • If limit per class is 0 for a given class, then the number in the Room Ratio column determines the size of room needed for that class
        • If the class needs more than one room, the number of requested rooms is also displayed in this column
  • Manager
    • Determines who will assign time and room to this class (for example, whether it is the Large Lecture Room manager, the departmental schedule deputy, or the Computing Lab manager)
    • The managing department also determines the set of rooms and/or times (time patterns) that you can use when you set up preferences
    • Abbreviations are displayed in this column, not the full name of the manager (roll the mouse over the abbreviation to see the full name)
      
  • Date/Time Information
    • Date Pattern
      • Indicates which weeks during the semester the class is taught

      • Number of meetings per week x number of minutes per meeting

That will open the document in your current window and you can save or print it from here (there should be a "Save a copy" and a "Print" icon in the menu at the top of the PDF document).
