Subject: Fall 2021 Schedule Update

 

Good morning, Deans, Assoc./Assist. Deans and Department Chairs.

 

Currently, Banner is off while our office makes room assignments and checks peak times.  We are working on a mismatch/error report to send to your schedulers.  Banner will open tomorrow morning (Thursday, March 25) for updates, changes and additions.  Banner will close again on Monday, March 29, 2021.  Please make sure all changes are completed by this time.

 

We will continue to provide updates and we will be communicating any potential enrollment issues as fall registration opens and continues.   Please note that although priority registration begins April 5th, you will begin seeing new Freshmen students in courses as early as March 29.  These students are our new FR who have completed orientation and who will be preloaded into appropriate, major-specific courses prior to them meeting with advisors. 

 

As a reminder, The Report Center offers a number of dashboards and reports to evaluate course scheduling for Fall 2021. 

 

Course Availability (Registration Cycle Tab)

Use this report to track the fill rate of courses during the registration cycle. The report is updated four times daily and has slicers to pull courses with limited seat availability.

 

Course Capacity and Enrollment (Courses Tab)

Use this dashboard to look at courses in past semesters to help plan what courses could be offered in future semesters. It shows the fill rate by course, as well as courses that are consistently full for the past three academic years.

 

Teaching Assignments (Courses Tab)

Department Chairs can use this report to review faculty assignments for the long semesters. The report is updated as Banner is updated.

 

Course Scheduling (Courses Tab)

Use this report to facilitate the timing of courses within the department, as well as across departments. For instance, if there is a course offered in another department, the course can be selected to see what time(s) it is offered to work with the other department chair on scheduling.

 

Small Classes (Courses Tab)

This report shows all small classes at UTSA. Small classes are defined as undergraduate course sections with fewer than 10 students enrolled and graduate course sections with fewer than 5 students enrolled.

 

Course Demand and Residual Waitlist Report (Courses Tab)

This report shows the history of enrollment by course as well as the residual waitlist for all courses to show the full course demand. There are two tabs, the first tab shows individual courses and the second tab shows all courses by College and Department. Updated daily.

 

Thank you for your work in getting this schedule put together!

 

Eric
