As student demand fluctuates and financial pressures mount, colleges and universities must do more with less—without compromising on quality or access. That’s why Ad Astra created The Smart Scheduling Guide to Faculty Capacity Planning — a step-by-step playbook for aligning faculty resources with strategic goals, accreditation requirements, and most importantly, student success.
