Need to work with college requests. Some Shifts are already configured to use on new definitions; some are not. Preview how other Shifts and Schedules are used/configured for the college request. Schedule Shifts and Schedule Definitions can be created under the college BU or VCCS depending on the college's preference. The best practice SSC TLAM recommended is having the schedules built under the VCCS Schedule ID. The college needs to provide the effective date required for the configuration. The college also needs to review all setups before configuring them in Production.
The TRCs for exempt and non-exempt hours are the following:
