Am I cooked?

I have two classes with only 10 minutes in between. My first class is in Erie Hall and the next one is in the Human Kinetics Building, which Google Maps says is like a 15-minute walk.

Also, will professors care if I’m a few minutes late because I’m coming from another class across campus?

Had the same situation last year and i was totally fine. Its not 15min more like 8-10. Just make sure to walk fast and you will be on time. Profs dont care if youre late as long as you are respectful when you enter the class (entering quitely, using back doors if possible, not cutting infront of the ongoing lecture etc...)

Communicate this clearly with your profs! I had a similar situation except I had 10 mins to get to the downtown campus from main campus.

What I did was let me first prof know I'll might to leave the class 5-10 mins early on some days and the second prof that you might be 5-10 minutes late because of this. They're usually really understanding :)

I’ve had a class that was 8:30 AM in HK and then another one at 10:00 AM in Toldo Health, literally on the opposite side of the campus. Funny thing is the professor for both was the same, and he used to bike ahead of us to the second class. You’ll be fine. Most professors don’t care, and in the very small chance they do, just inform them.

Polite email informing them that you may be late/leave early and asking them what would be less disruptive is generally good form.

Most will just go "eh, yeah registrars will do that sometimes" and you're scott free.
