WEBINAR
Beyond the Next Semester: Understanding AACRAO’s 2025 Research on Annual Scheduling
Annual scheduling is moving from aspiration to action. In this webinar, AACRAO’s Dr. Wendy Kilgore will unpack headline findings from the 2025 research on class scheduling practices, showing how a new majority of institutions either use or aspire to use annual scheduling, We’ll pair the data with frontline stories from John Hamman, Chief Analytics and Insights Officer at Montgomery College and Missy Chapa, Registrar at Texas A&M University- Corpus Christi, who will share what it really takes to build and sustain annual schedules—spanning governance, change management, policy, and the technical capabilities.
What you'll learn:
- Key takeaways from the research: adoption trends, benefits realized, and the “implementation gap” between institutional planning and student-facing registration.
- Real-world playbooks: how registrars and analytics leaders align people, policy, and process to shift from term-by-term firefighting to yearlong planning.
- Culture change, decoded: practical ways to move from faculty-centric habits to learner-centric scheduling.
- Technology that helps: how SIS tools, scheduling software, and data insights can support change and why manual spreadsheets can potentially hold you back.
Who should attend: Registrars, enrollment and student success leaders, provost/AA offices, department schedulers, institutional research/analytics, and IT partners supporting curriculum and scheduling.
