Smarter Course Scheduling

Dr. Duane Williams, associate vice provost of student success and retention, is spearheading an initiative designed to remove barriers to graduation and better support students juggling school, work, and family obligations.  

A&M–San Antonio is one of 20 institutions selected to participate in the national Student-Centered Course Scheduling cohort led by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) and funded by a $2.4 million grant from Ascendium Education Group.  

Through the cohort, A&M–San Antonio administrators are receiving course-planning analytics, data coaching, guided management support, and technical assistance. With these tools, the University is building more efficient, equitable, and transparent systems that enable Jaguars to stay on track and graduate on time.
