“Without access to the classes I need to graduate on time, I’m stuck. Do I switch majors or schools? Or do I wait it out?”

“I can’t afford not to have a degree. I’m just not sure I can keep up with the cost of getting one.”
INSTITUTION
“We need to know how to adjust our academic programs so that they positively impact our bottom line.”
Operational Efficiency
Ad Astra eliminates manual processes by streamlining scheduling with centralized calendars and real-time collaboration, helping institutions save time and improve efficiency
Student
“I never know what to expect when I register for courses. Why can’t it be easier?”
INSTITUTION
“Because our scheduling process is complex and manual, it costs us time and money each term.”
Equitable Outcomes
Ad Astra eliminates equity gaps by offering data-driven tools to create conflict-free and inclusive class schedules, ensuring equal access for all learners.
student
“I want to go to school full time, but I also work full time. How can I find a course schedule that fits with my life schedule?”
INSTITUTION
“We want to be a student-centered institution, but we don’t have the data to understand the needs of our diverse student population.”
Students and institutions approach education from two different perspectives. But both have the same destination: Graduation.
And Ad Astra sets the course to graduate more students faster.
