NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

Annual class schedules are input to CeTARS Schoolhouse
based on the finalized FY training plan approved by the LC.
The LC is responsible for the preparation and input of the
class schedules. The LC works directly with the
LS/DET/Participating Activity to ensure timely and accurate
submission of all class schedules. After class schedules
are input, quotas can then be computed, automatically
spread into the classes, or entered manually into each
class.
Class scheduling procedures can have a tremendous effect on
student management. BUPERS and COMNAVCRUITCOM begin making
PRIDE detailing commitments 18 months in advance of the
execution year and "C" school detailing commitments 9
months and other course types 7 months in advance of the
execution year. If schedules are late or changes are made,
this plan will be disrupted.
Timely, accurate, and stable scheduling for PRIDE courses
is especially important since specific commitments are made
to individuals during the recruiting process.
When preparing class schedules the following factors should
be considered:
Annual planning data for the appropriate fiscal year
will be used as the determining factor for the number
of classes to schedule.
Training Agent or other authorized CeTARS Schoolhouse
user may adjust the COURSE LENGTH field in CeTARS
Schoolhouse only if curriculum changes necessitate the
adjustment. In addition, in the capacity area the
location course length can be entered by authorized
CeTARS Schoolhouse users to indicate a specific
location requires a different course length from that
approved by the curriculum. This location duration
must be defined by its defining attribute - personnel,
equipment, or space. As a class length is increased,
an approved TPP must be on hand to justify the change.
Courses, which schedule double or triple shifted
classes, will reflect the same convene and graduation
date for each class. The same class number or
sequence identifier can be used for these types of
classes; however, a different section identifier must
be input to identify each shift or section.
During the initial development of annual class
schedules, National holidays will not be scheduled as
convening dates or as days of training. For example,
a 5-day course where a holiday occurs will be extended
to reflect five full days of instruction in the class
