Students want schedule stability. Your institution wants financial stability.

Financial Health

With predictable schedules, students are more likely to stay enrolled from start to graduation. Reliable enrollments ensure the financial sustainability of your programs. Ad Astra leads the way for both of these journeys as you build course schedules to match student demand.

“Our scheduling and rescheduling is much easier now. Ad Astra has paid huge dividends for us in both time and cost savings.”

Jessica Steenbergen, Scheduling Applications Coordinator, Western Kentucky University
