Facility ID Help

When creating or updating a class section in KSIS, a Facility ID may need to be changed or requested.  There are several types of Facility IDs from which to select as the meeting place for a class. 

To change a Facility ID, use the steps found in the Maintain Schedule of Classes - Meetings tab article.

Facility ID Definitions and Related Actions

Type of Meeting PlaceFacility ID Action(s)
Department ControlledSelect the desired room/location
 Departments are responsible for verifying that departmentally controlled rooms are free of time conflicts and not over designated room capacity

General Use Classroom (GUC)

If it is the SAME Class, Room, or Day/Time then do NOT change the Facility ID if you wish to keep the same room
 If the section is in a GUC and the department wants it to remain in the GUC, offered at the same days and time, then do NOT change the Facility Id field
 

If it is in a New Class, Room, or Day/Time then enter ZZZZ so a new classroom will be assigned

  • If changing from a Department room to GUC enter ZZZZ
  • If adding a new section that needs a GUC enter ZZZZ
  • If changing the time, days, or dates of a section currently in a GUC enter ZZZZ

For more information about planning for classrooms, visit General/Technology/Studio Classrooms.

High TechIf it is the Same Class, Room, Day/Time then do NOT change if you wish to keep the same room
 

If it is a New Class, Room, Day/Time then select ZZZZ

  • If changing from Department room to GUC enter ZZZZ
  • If changing the Time, Days or Dates of a section that was in a High Tech room enter ZZZZ.  The Department will LOSE their ownership of the current High Tech room and receive another room IF ONE IS AVAILABLE

IMPORTANT:  If there is a change in any way to a reserved General Use High Tech Classroom (Days, Dates, or Time) the current user of that room loses priority for that room in the scheduling process.
