Choose a Room

If you are a Wall resident, need a special room (dance studio, computer lab), or have a personal need for a specific room, please choose your room under "Specialty Room Request."

Otherwise, you will need to fill out room preferences so the tool can assign you to a room. Please follow these instructions when filling this section out:

  1. Ranking your choices from 1 to 3, select your preferred building and room type (auditorium, standard desks, etc). Rooms that match these criteria will appear under "Possible Rooms." Note that you aren't guaranteed any of these rooms.
  2. Select 4 other room features that are important to you under "Features." Select by order of importance (first: most important, last: least important).
  3. Select your room size, factoring in the combined ceiling for your class.

CatSched will try to find the best solution for everyone when assigning rooms.

NOTE: The more information you fill out, the more likely you are to get a room you want!
