| Initiative Title | Minimize scheduling obstacles to degrees completion. |
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | No |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | We need to look at how we schedule classes and and the time which courses are offered. I see we have 41 different start and end time for course schedules on Monday. Some students are not able to register for their required courses in a sequence to complete degree requirements within two years. We need to have standard start and end times, which would allow students to schedule course without conflicts, and in an order that they will be able to complete their degree requirements in two years. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | We will have the same scheduling issues as we do now, which dose not allow for students to create schedule in a time-frame that allows them to complete degree requirements with in two years. |

How will the initiative support this institutional goal? |
- ACADEMIC MASTER PLAN 2016-2020
- Scheduling
- Objective #1: Minimize scheduling obstacles to degree completion and make student and faculty and staff feedback a consistent part of scheduling decision-making.
|
At this time we have many different scheduling issues and with software we can utilize our classroom and spaces on campus while seeing which courses are scheduled in a time frame in which students will be able to complete their degree within two years. |
- ACADEMIC MASTER PLAN 2016-2020
- Scheduling
- Objective #3: Redesign presentation of programs and offerings to current and prospective students.
|
Students now are not able to schedule their courses in a manor that allows them to complete their degree in two years. If we can redesign the time in which we offer course students will be able to schedule classes and complete within two years. |
