Equitable Outcomes
Every student is different, but they all require a clear path to graduation. Ad Astra sets the course to graduate more of these students, faster for a more inclusive learning environment.
“With Ad Astra the data we have access to has completely shifted our scheduling process to a more data-informed system to make adjustments quickly to open additional courses and meet student demand.”
