Student Curriculum releases reports to support the fall enrollment cycle

June 20, 2013

Cal Answers Student Curriculum - an Operational Excellence project - is integrating course enrollment data into Cal Answers to help the campus inform and transform the way we analyze, support, communicate, and plan our curriculum. The Student Curriculum team worked with analysts and decision makers across the campus to develop the first two Cal Answers dashboards:

Curriculum Long-Term Planning: These reports feature course offerings, enrollments, average class size, and student credit hours for any course over time.

Weekly Enrollment Management: These reports allow you to track classes offered, enrollment counts and limits, waitlist counts and limits, percentage of classes filled, and more during the registration period. Updated on a weekly basis, you can use them to monitor the curriculum and make timely decisions about teaching support or how many classes to offer based on where you see growing demand or capacity before the semester starts.

We are releasing these dashboards over the summer so you can use them to track and manage enrollments in upcoming fall courses, as well as look at longer-term trends to start planning your curriculum for the next semester.

We have various options available for you to learn more about these new dashboards:

  • VIEW: a brief video describing the dashboards hosted by Business Analyst Jenna Allen to learn more about how these dashboards can help you with your curriculum-related work.
  • ATTEND: an overview and demonstration at the July 19 Cal Assessment Network session in 60 Barrows Hall from 10:30am to 12pm; no advance sign-up is necessary.
