Getting students into the courses they need, when they need them, is a cornerstone of student success that institutions can't afford to ignore. Course access helps students stay on track for completion and helps institutions retain students that might otherwise delay or discontinue their education. To achieve this goal, institutions have introduced numerous initiatives including enhanced student advising, degree maps, financial grants to clear account balances, and marketing campaigns encouraging students to register for a full load. However, these efforts do little if the courses students need are inaccessible to them at the times they need them.
This guide helps higher ed leaders understand student scheduling needs and how to implement scheduling practices that promote equitable course access.
