* Try to schedule your class at least one week in advance, to give people a chance to hear about your class and make time in their schedule to attend.  If you are expecting support for ships/modules or other manufactured items this is a minimum requirement and not optional.
* Try to schedule your class at least one week in advance, to give people a chance to hear about your class and make time in their schedule to attend.  If you are expecting support for ships/modules or other manufactured items, make sure you give it enough time.
* Check the UNI in-game calendar for available dates/times. Do ''not'' schedule a class at the same time as any other class.  A Teaching Officer can check the calendar on behalf of guest lecturers from outside the University.

* The teaching department asks that we avoid overlap of classes. Classes shall be considered a two hour block of time, reserved on a ‘first come first serve’ basis (first class to post on the calendar or be scheduled in the forum for OOC lecturers who cannot access the Uni calendar).  Classes should not be scheduled to start within less than 2 hours of an already scheduled class.

=== In-game calendar ===
Create a class announcement on the in-game EVE Uni calendar (provided you hold the [[Sophomore]] title; if not, ask a Teaching Officer).
'''This is not required''', but teachers have the option to also add their class to the in-game calendar if they feel like it. This can be done if you hold the [[Student]] title, if not - ask a Teaching Officer.


Make sure to:
* include "[Class]" as a title prefix, followed by the name/topic of the class.
