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 Place Facility ID Action(s)
Department Controlled Select 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
