Welcome to Resource 25 Training!

What's R25?

Resource 25 (commonly referred to as “R25”) is one of the family of software systems utilized by the Scheduling Unit of the Office of Classroom Management to schedule academic courses and special events in the 300 general purpose classrooms on the Twin Cities campuses (East Bank, West Bank & St. Paul). R25 software is being provided to the university community for departmental classroom scheduling. This gives users the benefits of using this proven product for departmental classroom scheduling , while preserving the department ’s autonomy and control over those rooms. Currently, 32 departments in 12 colleges are using the Departmental R25 system for departmental spaces.

What are the Benefits of R25?

Departmental R25 users enjoy the benefits of the system's on-line interface with PeopleSoft which eliminates the need for the department to "double-enter" scheduling data. It also expedites the flow of important course scheduling information to systems, staff and students, and prevents double-booking of department space.

A dedicated Departmental Web Viewer visually displays room activity in graphic or tabular form, and allows for a quick search of a room or lab's availability. The Departmental Web Viewer also displays departmental room photos, equipment, features and departmental scheduler contact information for each room in the system.

A number of reports are available to participating departments for their rooms, providing department chairs and schedulers with important information about room usage that can be used in future planning

Resources ranging from laptops to technicians can also be scheduled by R25.
