Standard Meeting Patterns

Standard Meeting patterns are pre-defined days and times that are limited to Lectures, Seminars, and Lecture & Practice/Discussion courses.

1. Hover over the calendar to see possible meeting times for the default meeting pattern
   • To view all times available for a meeting pattern, hover over the View All tool (small boxes in a grid in the top toolbar)
   • To view other possible patterns, click the Patterns drop-down and choose another pattern. Patterns are listed by order of preference for the scheduling unit
   • To limit days to view, click the Days drop-down, then select or deselect days
2. Click a box to set the meeting time for that section. Continue hovering to view and choose other possible patterns
   Note: The red bars on the right in the day columns indicate when the selected primary instructor is scheduled. This red bar only appears if the Term field in the Edit Section box is selected as “Full Term.” The red line will not appear if “None Assigned” or part of a term is chosen
3. Click Accept to set the meeting time

If the desired meeting pattern is not available, you can propose a non-standard meeting pattern by performing the following steps:

1. In the Patterns dropdown, choose User Defined
2. Enter the requested meeting pattern in the Meeting Pattern Name text box at the bottom of the drop-down.
   Note: Meeting patterns must be formatted as follows: Day initial (must be capitalized), space, start time, dash, end time. For a Department to propose meeting Monday and Thursday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm, enter “MR 8:00am-4:00pm”
3. Click Add to place the pattern on the Snapper

Note: In most cases, proposing a user-defined meeting pattern will trigger a request to enter workflow. Take notice of errors and warnings and take action as instructed.
