When making this designation, instructors may not allocate a single class to more than one session. 6.

If openings still exist after the exhaustion of the preference list, or if openings exist which cannot be filled by those on the list due to inability to accept available assignments or lack of appropriate qualifications for the specific opening, then the designated administrator may complete the assignment of open classes with a qualified person(s) not on the preference list. 9.
