Merced Schedule Assessment

Compares each section's actual scheduled minutes per class meeting against the state's required minimum for its credit units and meeting pattern — including the holiday-adjusted table for a class meeting only once a week, on a Monday or a Friday.

Flags any two sections that share a meeting day and an overlapping time window, whether they belong to the same department or two different ones. A same-faculty, same-course, identical-time pair is treated as one cross-listed lecture, not a conflict.

Applies the contract's lecture / lab / activity unit-load ratios and its large-class compensation multiplier to each section's scheduled contact hours. Reports "not computed" rather than guessing when a row's instructional category isn't known.

Flags a section whose instructor isn't found on an uploaded faculty roster. Skipped entirely — not silently passed — when no roster is provided.

Flags any row whose meeting days or times genuinely couldn't be parsed, so a gap in your spreadsheet is never mistaken for a clean result.

Excludes a row from every other check once you confirm which of its status column's values mean "cancelled" — shown separately as excluded, never silently dropped.

Totals each faculty's computed load across the uploaded file(s) — informational only, no automatic flag, since the real contractual floor is annual (Fall + Spring), not per term. Counts a shared/concurrent lecture cross-listed across sections once, not once per section.
