Thanks for attending Scheduling U!

Schedulers from more than 40 different departments participated in the Scheduling U workshops earlier this month. Thank you for taking the time to join us!

Scheduling update live
An annual update on everything scheduling: policy, classroom renovations, timelines, upgrade impacts, how to get the room you need, and more. This is a must-see session.


Astra Academics refresher
Astra Academics schedulers are invited to join the Academic Support Resources Training and Support team for a refresher session on entering classroom assignments using Astra Academics. We will demonstrate the process and have plenty of time for questions.

Everything CCS: Encore SR Help workshop session
Schedulers are invited to join the Academic Support Resources Training and Support team & OCM Scheduling Team for a CCS user review workshop. We will revisit some of the CCS processes that changed as part of the upgrade and have plenty of time for questions.

Orientation to academic scheduling

Are you new to academic scheduling? Perhaps you are an experienced scheduler looking for a refresher? Plan to attend this session as we walk you through University policies and procedures that relate to scheduling. All processes from A to Z will be covered. This session is perfect for those brand new to the world of scheduling.

That’s a wrap: Roundtable with the Scheduling team
Do you have a burning question that hasn’t been answered during Scheduling U? Not able to make it to a session you had hoped to attend? Bring all your lingering questions to this open forum. We’ll discuss best practices, data organization, and tips and tricks to help you schedule efficiently. This is an opportunity for schedulers to network and exchange practical experiences and challenges about their scheduling process.

Tools for the academic scheduler

Scheduling decisions are strongest when supported by clear, concrete facts. This workshop will show you how to access data from multiple sources that is already at your fingertips using the Reporting Center, Class Scheduling Distribution Summary, Astra Schedule, and more.

Waitlists: Let’s take it from the top
Schedulers are invited to join the Academic Support Resources Training and Support team for a user overview workshop. Not only will we cover processes to setup and maintain waitlists, but also the issues and resolutions that were encountered with waitlists at the beginning of this term.

  • No powerpoint available, but an encore presentation will be held on Wednesday, November 18 at 11:00a.m. Watch your email for an invitation soon!
