Course Schedule Evaluation

Hit the “pause” button and analyze how well your institution is scheduling courses, classes, and events on campus

With Ad Astra's Course Schedule Evaluation (CSE), your institution’s course and section data are extracted from the student information system. The data is then bench marked with several Higher Education Scheduling Index (HESI) industry averages. The CSE summary will be presented to each school’s leadership with a conservative opportunity analysis and return on investment model. This equips each school with business intelligence to ignite conversations around efficiency, effectiveness, and student progression.

Let's talk

Benchmark your institution against the Higher Education Scheduling Index

Course Offerings

Space Management
