Strategy/Project Description:
One of the barriers to timely completion can be course availability – especially in the case of high-demand and sequential courses. If needed courses are unavailable, students may take courses that do not contribute to program completion to maintain their full-time status. Ad Astra’s Platinum Analytics facilitates data-informed academic course scheduling by leveraging data in Banner and DegreeWorks. The implementation of this software has helped academic departments better determine course demands and identify course bottlenecks which impede the degree progression of students so that departments can better schedule course and seat availability to mitigate the bottle necks and improve the progression of students toward graduation.
