Benefits of Student Scheduling (Sectioning)
Optimize Academic Advising and Enrollment Management Strategies
You can support you academic advisors’ efforts by automating student-to-section assignment using our powerful sectioning algorithm. You ensure that your students’ program requirements are met while respecting placement options and other student-specific constraints.
With Sectioner you eliminate the cumbersome, time-consuming and taxing paper-based process of scheduling your students and free your advisors to spend more time advising. By generating high quality individual student schedules in support of your advising efforts you also clearly demonstrate your commitment to superior student services.
Align students’ course demand to course supply
Analyze your students’ course demand for mandatory and electives choices in priorities and build individual student schedules that are aligned to your course supply. Increase your students’ satisfaction by meeting as best as possible their course preferences while you maximize your student to seat ratio by filling your course sections to capacity.
When you optimize your students to section assignment you avoid uneven student distribution to classes and as a result ensure fair faculty workload allocation.
Personalized Student Schedules
You can easily orient your student and help them live a successful academic experience – especially Freshman – by automatically generating individual students’ course schedules that’s representative of their unique needs.
Remove your students’ stress of building their schedules by automatically assigning your students conflict-free to the right courses and sections. Ensure placement options are met, program requirements respected, and preferences considered during the assignment process and realize your students as well as your institutional objectives.
Support Learning Communities
Use our student sectioning module to assign Freshman students to homogenous sets of classes and foster learning communities proven to improve retention and graduation rates as well as overall academic success. By creating these learning communities you enhance your students’ academic experience, establish a solid foundation for academic as well as professional success, and leverage your students’ individual potential towards greater personal and group achievements.
Maximize Access to Courses
Maximize fair and equitable access to courses by batch assigning your students to sections. Ensure that student preferences are considered and achieve higher quality schedule for all students than manually possible. Balance your student distribution to maintain high quality schedules while meeting faculty workload targets.
Seat and Room Optimization
You can control the behavior of the student sectioning algorithm to achieve greater space utilization rate. Adjust the student assignment settings to balance distribution or fill your rooms to capacity. By compressing section assignment you may be able to benefit from substantial savings as you reduce the number of sections offered without affecting the quality of the students schedule.
