Teachers can currently edit, cancel, and delete meeting times for their courses, but they can't add new meeting times. It would be great if they had the ability to add new meetings - that would save our registrar a ton of work. :)

Adam Sentz Official comment @Grant - It's true that Faculty can't edit Meeting Times on the Info page, but they can add individual events to the course calendar by visiting the Calendar and clicking Add Event.

Grant Whidden Thanks, @Adam. A couple of thoughts on entering meeting times your proposed way:- This way doesn't provide dropdowns for Building or Room, which introduces the probability of human error. :)
- This way doesn't allow the teacher to pick and choose which days of week that the meeting times recur.
- Do those individually created events tie into the attendance for course?

Adam Sentz @Grant - If you click More in the Add Event dialog you can choose a location and set up event repetition if desired. It works differently than Info > Meeting Times, but you can do essentially the same thing. You can even take attendance for these events.
The reason for the distinction is that it's up to the Academic Administration to set the overall calendar for the school - what courses meet at what times and where - for the sake of registration.
