Class Scheduling for Higher Ed
Having the right class scheduling software in place can help you increase efficiency, reduce error, and make the lives of registrar professionals easier.
Class Scheduling Doesn't Have to Be a Repetitive and Time-Consuming Process
How Verity's Platform Improves Efficiency and Profitability
"Do you know how long that's going to take me?"
Anyone in Higher Ed who's been responsible for class scheduling before can relate to this statement. Making updates to class registrations can be a cumbersome process, especially when you don't have the right software in place.
Take bulk enrollment, for example. Whether you're trying to schedule one student for multiple classes or multiple students for the same class, bulk enrollment is a must-have for anyone responsible for class scheduling. If your software doesn't allow for bulk enrollment, then this process can be quite time-intensive.
Even if your current solution does allow for bulk enrollment, you have to:
- Create a group
- Set up the track
- Marry the group to the track
If the schedule changes, the whole thing gets thrown off and has to be updated manually, which requires a savvy user. This can cause headaches for both the student and the staff member.

Scheduling Classes for One Student is Easy. What About Bulk Enrollment?
Setting up course registration for one student is (almost always) easy. The challenges arise when you need to schedule hundreds or even thousands of students.
What if schedules change? What if a student makes a last-minute registration? Are you able to register a student for the entire academic year with the click of a button? Are you able to quickly determine whether or not students have met their prerequisite requirements?
If you can't answer these questions confidently, then it may be time to make a change.
What are the benefits of a sleek, easy, and error-free scheduling solution?
