Weekly Enrollment Management Dashboard Job Aid

Overview

The Weekly Enrollment Management dashboard was designed to help departments manage their curriculum and have near real-time data to see demand and capacity for classes so they can adjust their offerings as needed. You can see these metrics for a specific enrollment week for one year and for the same enrollment week in the prior year. The most recent week for the current term provides data as of the night before the query was run.

Use this dashboard to see course offerings and enrollment, enrollment limits, waitlist counts, waitlist limits, percentage of seats filled, and answer questions such as:

  • When do I expect a given course to fill?

  • Is this course filling more slowly than it did last year at this time?

  • Have we offered enough classes to meet the demand for this course?

  • Before instruction starts, which courses in my unit have filled over 95% of their seat limits?

Data Source and Update Schedule

  • Data is loaded weekly starting up to 19 weeks before the start of the semester.

  • The most recent week for the current term provides data as of the night before the query was run..

  • During a given week, the nightly snapshots are combined into a final (Saturday) snapshot that aggregates all of the course offering and enrollment transactions that occurred that week.  As a result of the aggregation process, any course offering or enrollment that exists in a given week is included in the counts shown for that week.  For example, if a class had 10 people enrolled at the beginning a week, then one drop and one add during the week, the final weekly snapshot would show 11 enrollments, since that was the total number of individuals who were enrolled in the class during that week.

  • In contrast, both the CEN (census) and EOT (end of term) snapshots represent single points in time, rather than aggregations as described above.
