NRA Strategies
Strategies for the resolution of outstanding unallocated teaching activities
Following the termly publication of the teaching timetable to OnTime, the Timetabling & Rooming Office will issue department nominated users with a series of spreadsheets listing those requested teaching activities for which no room is available (NRA)
This marks the commencement of the NRA (no room available) phase, where the Timetabling & Rooming Office seeks to explore any flexibility which exists in relation to these outstanding requests.
An NRA arises when the demand for a particular timetable slot exceeds the supply of available rooms.
Below are listed some of the strategies for resolving NRAs which will underpin ongoing negotiations. This list is indicative and does not exhaust the range of creative solutions which can result from an effective collaboration over this important area of University business.

Whilst the Timetabling & Rooming Office does not consider cancellation to be a ‘strategy’ for resolving NRAs, it is a possible outcome should all other options be exhausted.
The Office is always grateful for the efforts of departmental and faculty colleagues in meeting the challenges of allocating finite resources in support of the student experience.
