Simplify the creation of your student course schedule
Sectioner automatically assigns students conflict-free to scheduled course sections and inline with program requirements. Students’ preferences, alternates, attributes, levels, priorities and other constraints are also considered during the scheduling process.
The powerful algorithm of Sectioner ensures that students get the courses they want and need at the right time in their academic progression while providing the institution with ultimate control over section assignment and distribution.
Cater to individual student requirements
Address individual student requirements such as special needs, athletic commitments, or part-time studies and deliver individual student schedules that conform to your students’ academic as well as personal requirements.
Reserve seating in specific sections to ensure students have the ability to meet their program requirements and/or support learning communities by scheduling students in cohorts.
Optimize the result of your advising and enrollment management strategies
Benefit further from the flexibility of Sectioner and its powerful algorithm to support your academic advising and enrollment management strategies by automatically assigning Freshman students conflict-free to sections based on program requirements.
Ensure that your new students are off to a great start and reduce your add/drop period by eliminating the risk that your new students have inadvertently registered in the wrong course or the wrong section.
Maximize access to required as well as elective courses
Capture students’ preferences and priorities and use Sectioner to automatically assign all your students – or a segment of your students such as Freshman – to their required courses as well as the best possible match of their elective courses.
Increase student satisfaction by delivering personalized schedules that meet your students’ expectation and ensure timely progression towards the degree they are seeking.
Balance sections for resource optimization
Control the distribution of your course section assignment to increase seat utilization or to balance course load assignment for faculty. The balancing option of Sectioner gives you the flexibility you need to comply with institutional targets while meeting the academic requirements of your students.
Report on seat utilization rates based on forecasted or actual enrollment and learn where you can improve or potentially accept more students.
