Astra to be replaced with 25Live

After completing the Request for Proposal (RFP) process, CollegeNET has been selected as the vendor to replace Astra for the University’s class and room scheduling system. CollegeNET’s 25Live product achieved the top score with the following highlights:

  • An updated, multi-campus academic and room scheduling platform
  • Improved workflow management, calendars, and customization options
  • Smarter event forms and streamlined event pricing
  • Increased what-if scenario planning
  • Advanced administrative tools

A core group has been preparing for the project kickoff by conducting preliminary analysis and planning. The project will officially kick off with the vendor in late July and is expected to launch in June 2025. The project team will work with the University community to ensure 25Live is optimally configured. Communications, including comprehensive training plans, will continue throughout the project with current Astra users to ensure a smooth transition. 

Astra will continue to be the University’s class and room scheduling system until 25Live launches.
