Changing to a Non-Standard Meeting Pattern

Although Princeton has established a variety of meeting patterns, it is possible that you might have to schedule a section that meets in a non-standard pattern. The length of the meetings might be longer than usual, or the combination of days might differ from the standard offerings. You can enter a non-standard meeting pattern in the Meeting Pattern area on the Meetings page of the Schedule of Classes page group.

To change to a non-standard meeting pattern:

  1. If you are not already displaying the class you want to change the meeting pattern for, access the Schedule of Classes page group. This will display the Basic Data page.
  1. Click the Meetings tab to display Meeting page, then scroll down to the Class Sections area.
  2. Verify that you are in the right component and section by checking the Class Section and Component values in the Class Section area of the page. If you are not in the right section use the Previous and Next buttons in the Class Sections header bar to move through the sections, until you find the one you want.
  3. Since the value in the Pat (Pattern) field is no longer correct, highlight the value, and press the Delete key to remove it.
  4. If the meeting time is not correct, change the Mtg Start and Mtg End times by typing the correct values over the existing values.
  5. Select () the checkboxes for the days of the week that the section will meet.
  6. If this is the only change required for this class, click the Save button. If there are more changes for this class, click the tab of the page where you need to make a change.
