STUDENT-CENTERED ACADEMIC SCHEDULING
Maximize student outcomes and minimize disruption.
Predict course demand by utilizing our patented process that blends student pathway data with historical course enrollment patterns. Our proprietary technology, coupled with valuable insights from metrics such as Degree Velocity®, identifies actions that improve student progress for all.
Accelerate student progress with pathway analysis.
Improved Student Completion Rates
Recognize barriers to completion for students and inform retention action at key points in the student journey using Degree Velocity®, Early Momentum and DFW metrics.
Equitable Outcomes
Identify target student populations and employ strategies to accelerate progress using intelligence from course access analytics.
Student Demand Alignment
Minimize scheduling disruptions and align with students’ needs by creating schedules based on forecasted course demand.
Program Pathway Management
Define and manage student pathways for improved course recommendations, student success reporting, and institutional planning.
STUDENT DEMAND FORECASTING SOFTWARE
Proactively meet student demand with market-leading predictive analytics.
Employ our patented process that predicts course demand using degree pathways and historical enrollment patterns. Compare forecasted demand with tentative offerings to receive change candidates that align with students’ needs, improve resource utilization, and minimize disruption.
Model incoming and transfer student populations
Create a course schedule that considers your incoming students and leads to graduation.
Mitigate course bottlenecks
Combat bottlenecked course offerings by leveraging enhanced recommendations informed by both degree pathways and historical demand data.
Eliminate student scheduling conflicts
Understand which courses have a high risk of section time conflicts and view alternate, conflict-free meeting patterns.
Monitor student degree progress
Gain visibility into an individual student's progress toward completing their degree with pathway analyses.
PROGRAM PATHWAY MANAGEMENT
Leverage student pathways for added insights.
Configure degree pathways that power enhanced course recommendations, student success reporting, and institutional planning.
Build a foundation for student success
