OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Scheduling needs change fast. Don’t let manual processes slow you down.

Creating class schedules is one of the most time-intensive tasks for a registrar’s office. Ad Astra streamlines the process, helping you reclaim valuable time while improving operational efficiency.

“Before we used Ad Astra, it would take me about two weeks to complete the schedule. Now, it only takes half that time."

Tabitha Banks, Curriculum & Academic Support Coordinator, Chattanooga State Community College

Implement an Operational Efficiency Strategy

Chatt State sought a faster, more efficient scheduling solution. By partnering with Ad Astra, they implemented a strategy for timely, student-centered scheduling interventions, enhancing operational efficiency in higher education.

“The purpose of operational efficiency in higher education is to achieve objectives with the fewest resources possible. The goal is to use resources efficiently to improve results. Proficient, efficient academic operations contribute to the success, persistence and education completion of a learner.”

Wendy Kilgore, Senior Director of Research, AACRAO
