Strategic Scheduling Check-up

In today's tenuous economic climate, institutions are being challenged to answer difficult scheduling capacity and efficiency questions:

• Will existing space support your anticipated enrollment growth changes?
• Are historically low demand/low enrollment sections needlessly using adjunct instructional dollars and prime instructional space?

Ad Astra’s experts can help answer these questions using a combination of two highimpact strategic scheduling services (the Space Capacity Management Study and the Historical Course Demand Study). We will analyze key capacity and efficiency issues and assess how your institution is performing in these areas compared to similar institutions.

Deliverables
The Strategic Scheduling Check-Up delivers a high-impact roadmap with recommendations to expand academic space capacity. In addition, it isolates cost savings opportunities (reduction of unneeded sections), allowing you to tailor your schedule to fit historical course demand. Your study results will be presented to you as an institutional dashboard with capacity and course offering metrics.

Facility Operational Costs Analysis:
Are there opportunities for facility management savings during off-peak academic terms?

Offerings Break Even Analysis:
Which courses are providing a positive financial return, and which are being subsidized?
