The primary function of the Scheduling Unit within the office of the Registrar is the assignment of academic space for the purposes of instruction and special event use. Our unit serves as the gate keeper in ensuring classroom facility use is maximized and appropriately assigned. UNLV has 300+ class room facilities comprised of General Purpose Space, Computer Laboratories, and Classroom Studios.
