Course Special Fees

Departments will be prompted to run a Special Fee WebI report each semester to review special fees on course sections.

For more information about special course fees and the process to add, delete or change fees, see 'Special Course Fees' menu under Course Management.

 

Distribution of Course Sections

  • Course sections must be distributed evenly throughout the day, including noon time and evening courses.
  • The number of MWF and TR sections must be proportionate.
  • The Dean's Office monitors the distribution of course sections throughout the day and week.

 

Section Numbering Standards

Durham Courses

  • Labs – Begin with L  (L01, L02...)
  • Recitations – Begin with R  (R01, R02… )
  • Honors – Begin with H (H01, H02...), unless the course number already includes H (ENGL 401H). Honors Designated sections begin with H (H01). 

Letters in Section Numbers

  • Departments may use letters to distinguish topics in course section numbers (A01, B01...).

Manchester Courses

  • Labs – Begin with LM (LM1, LM2…)
  • Lectures –  Begin with M (M1, M2…)
     

Semester Final Exams

Semester final exams apply only to full semester Durham course sections that have regularly scheduled meeting times during the Fall or Spring semester. Course sections that do not meet these criteria are ineligible.

Courses not eligible:

  • Durham courses that do not meet at a regularly scheduled time Fall or Spring semester.  
  • Cross-Listed course sections because the sections meet at the same time.
  • Online Asynchronous course sections do not have a regularly scheduled meeting time.

Manchester and Law Campuses

  • Course sections do not follow the same Final Exam rules as Durham.

 

Standard Time Block Usage

The Dean's Office must approve courses scheduled outside the standard time blocks listed below. This includes changes in the course schedule to a non-standard time block. Approved, non-standard courses will be scheduled but run the risk of being removed if a course scheduled during a standard time block is in need of a classroom.
