Schedule Hybrid (Share-the-Space) ClasSes

This is a tutorial for class scheduling staff only. No log in is required.

Introduction

This guide reviews how CSUN staff granted security access to the Schedule of Classes (SOC) schedules hybrid (share-the-space) classes. CSUN currently offers four (4) course types, one of which is taught half online and half on campus. View course type definitions (PDF).

This guide discusses the Hybrid (OH) course type:

Hybrid (OH) is a course offering in which students attend class sessions on campus and in an online environment. The class typically meets approximately half online and half on campus. Whenever possible, two hybrid classes will share one room on the day the other class is taught online. Thus the name share-the-space classes because it optimizes the use of one facility for two classes efficiently.

Final Examinations: Hybrid classes have a final exam on the day and time that they occupy the room. The Exam Scheduler will assign an exam based on the information entered ONLY on the first meeting pattern row.
