SQL is often the quickest and most flexible way to retrieve information from the
Oracle tables underlying Banner. It also forms the basis for most reporting
software, which often allows the user to edit the SQL that the software
generates. This session will help a user with no previous experience using SQL
understand the way that SQL works and learn how to create and edit simple SQL
scripts. Beginning with a basic "SELECT FROM WHERE EQUALS" script, this session
will then discuss other comparison operators such as IN, NOT IN, LIKE and NOT
LIKE. The use of EXISTS and NOT EXISTS will also be shown.

A Leap to Banner in 18 Months [301]
SCT Banner LEAP
Coral Lounge I (H)
W900
Northwest Missouri State University leaped to Banner in 18 months without
conversion kits and with very little conversion consulting help. In most ways we
found that the SCT Banner project was like working with a totally different
vendor than the one we knew as our SCT Plus vendor. Of course the Oracle
database software was a new and very different environment. Since Northwest had
a mandate not to modify any purchased code there were expectations that that
many business practices would have to be modified to fit Banner. This hasn’t
been the case and efforts were completed to build peripheral modules to continue
old business practices. In most cased they were justified to keep student and
alumni friendly processes.

As it implemented its Matrix SSS 2.4.3 module this last year, the University of
Chicago needed to accommodate its policies of tracking and administering a large
and diverse population of doctoral students. Because of the unique nature of
these policies, a customized solution was designed to be integrated with the
Matrix SSS product. This solution allows all University students, not just
doctoral students, to be tracked on a term by term basis, from the point of
application through graduation, with detailed coding on their statuses each
term. As the first client to go-live with Matrix SSS, the University of
Chicago's customization of its "Term Record" provides an example to other
clients of how the product can be enhanced.

This session will identify ways for finance and procurement professionals to
have a profound influence on the way procurement is done on campus, resulting in
large savings as well as advancing customer service for faculty, staff and
researchers. It will speak to the difficulties of influencing change,
particularly automation, on a campus environment and the ways that technology
could be used as a “carrot” and not a “stick”. It will also show how senior
executives can play a meaningful role in making the automation initiative
successful, and how senior managers can use that support to effect positive
change. Finally, it will speak to how automation can be used to further
strategic goals, including better spend management, reporting, analysis and

applied. Another example would be to verify information like who has graduated
in a particular major. Access allows you to get the information you need to
make an informed decision based on facts.

Automated Telecounseling on Banner
SCT Banner Student
301 B (CC) M1100
[109]
This year, the University of St. Francis was faced with converting its’
automated telecounseling data and scripts from the Exeter system to the Banner
6.0 system for the Call Center. We will show you how we used the SOAAPPT,
SPACMNT and SRARECR screens to implement the automation of the Call Center
telecounseling in Banner 6.0. We also noted that everything we did in Banner
6.0 had to be user friendly for the admissions counselors since they would be
working in the same screens in their recruiting efforts. We accomplished this
task through a joint effort of the user group from the Call Center and the
university’s Banner IT group working together. We met both the inbound and
outbound Call Center telecounseling needs, in addition to the admissions
counselors’ requirements

Seven years ago Bucknell began implementing Banner. The original implementation
included only the Student, Financial Aid, Finance, Admissions and Human
Resources modules. During that time the Advancement area was using a different
system, which had gone live in 1995. There was no expectation during the Banner
implementation that Advancement would ever need to be integrated with the rest
of the system. Times change and we are now implementing the Advancement module.
Learn how the project has coalesced over 80 staff members from a dozen
departments and motivated them to look afresh at processes, procedures and even
Banner tables to improve our University-wide communication and information

accidental creation of Multiple PIDMs. CM can be employed for batch creation of
new student records from dataload processes as well as for online creation. It
can be used for both person and non-person records. Preventing multiple records
up front is much more effective than cleaning up the duplicates on the back end.
Join us to hear how you can use this new feature to improve efficiencies at your
institution.

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!! As the implementation of Banner 6
progresses, communication plays a vital role in keeping the organization on
track. Effecting change in any system involves an extensive amount of
resources.
The proper utilization of these resources can determine whether
your implementation winds up in the winners circle or pit row. Learn how one
university has engineered an effective model of campus-wide communication and
support for the Banner deployment.
Located in San Angelo, Texas, Angelo State
University is in year two of a three year Banner implementation. Knowing the
importance of organizational communication, this 6,000 student strong school has
assembled a solid project team able to sustain the momentum generated by the
school administration. Employing best practices to establish various avenues of
interaction with the campus, Angelo State has maintained a high level of
production while ensuring a smooth transition to the new Banner system.
Discover the ins and out's of a successful communication and training campaign
for your campus. If you are in the beginning stages of Banner implementation, or
just looking for new ideas to enhance your own communication plan, and want to
capture the checkered flag, this session is for you!

Complex Letters at the Right Time
SCT Matrix Financial Aid

[472]
Tulane University wanted to use the Matrix/Microsoft Word functionality to
produce complex letters, such as the Award Letter and Missing Information
Letters in SAS. Where possible, Tulane wanted to use the functionality in
Matrix and Word to mark letters as sent and to be able to regenerate letters
within Matrix.
Tulane needs to define specific time frames for specific
groups of students and to control the number and frequency of communications to
students. Our solution is a table controlled by the end user. Rules access a
single table with rows to identify each group of students. The table sets start
and end dates for the communication item for that group of students and the
limit and frequency of communication. The intended audience is both functional
and technical Matrix implementation team members. The presentation is based on
Matrix version 2.4. Tulane has been working on the Matrix implementation for 1
year.

More than three years ago Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute launched a Data
Warehouse initiative to address the reporting and analytical needs of campus
leadership. Data warehouse architecture combined with web-base Executive Dash
Board application accessible via Portal was built to facilitate better access to
information by a broader population of campus users who are not familiar with
where data is stored or how it’s coded in the operational systems. The data
warehouse contains consistent, integrated, cleaned, transformed, detailed, and
summarized information derived from the operational systems. The data warehouse
implementation was far more than just a technical solution of supplying
information to the decision makers and their staff, it brings the cultural
changes that promote analytical culture placing value on information and
analysis as opposed to “gut feelings”. In this presentation we will review some
fundamentals of the data warehouse architecture, campus rollout strategies
deployed, discuss changes and effects on policies, processes, and people. We
will conclude with live demonstration. (Information Access Maturity Level: 4)

developed some guidelines for data input and audited the database to locate
possible duplicates. Rose-Hulman is live in Banner with all modules therefore we
resolve the duplicate in all modules at the same time. We have an in house
written program that reports all the tables a given PIDM resides in as well as
how many records carry that PIDM in each table.
Although my primary
responsibility in Banner is to the Finance area I work closely with the users in
the other departments to resolve the duplicate to everyone’s satisfaction. This
has worked very successfully for us. It allows for consistency in resolution and

Empower Users and Consolidate Rules [471]
SCT Matrix Financial Aid
Nautilus I (H)
W1030
Tulane University wanted a highly flexible approach to rule writing that would
give end users a wide range of control over variable data that will change from
year to year. Two examples in SAS are values of cost of attendance components
and criteria used in packaging strategies. Hard coding changeable values in
rules would mean extensive rewriting of rules every year. Tulane and SCT’s
solution is to build tables containing the variable data and write rules to
access the data from the tables. End users update the values on the tables each
year and re-upload the tables. The intended audience is both functional and
technical Matrix implementation team members. The presentation is based on
Matrix version 2.4. Tulane has been working on the Matrix implementation for 1
year.

This workshop is designed for both technical support, training staff, and end
users. It will present a case study on how the University of Maryland Baltimore
went about implementing end user reporting. The ultimate goal was users that
were self sufficient and comfortable with reporting from Banner. UMB embarked
on an ambitious campaign to provide their diverse end user community with
reporting tools and training. From technical design considerations to training
delivery, from creating “Oracle Views” to facilitating user groups, from
teaching end users “technical jargon” (and technical people “users jargon”) to
teaching users how to design their own queries, UMB successfully taught their
users “how to fish” AND how to better ask for fish to be caught for them!
Please note that UMB uses Crystal Reporting and MS Excel solutions, but the
lessons here are targeted less on the reporting solutions than on how these were
created and carried out. UMB used a combination of technical and training
strategies to meet our customer’s needs and it is the goal of this workshop to
share these with others so they can learn from our experience and come away with
ideas for their own institutions. (Information Access Maturity Level: 2 & 3)

Taylor University is a small, private Christian liberal arts university located
in Upland, Indiana. At the administration’s request, the Information Technology
group began deployment of the CMS Version 2 during a major redesign of Taylor’s
public website. Thinking outside the box, we attempted to implement a highly
technical solution that met our needs but, unfortunately, proved less than user
friendly.
We soon learned why very few schools had attempted this task. As
our redesign continued, we considered migrating our website to the current CMS
Version 3, thereby achieving a more decentralized publishing model. In the
midst of all this, we also began the deployment of the Portal to our on-campus
constituents, as well as prospective students and alumni.

This session looks at both the business case and technology strategy for
Highlander Pipeline, New Jersey Institute of Technology’s campus portal, now
supported with the Luminis product family. NJIT was an early adopter of the
Campus Pipeline portal under its initial sponsorship program. Quickly
recognizing the community building power of a portal with single sign-on and
personalization capabilities, NJIT positioned Highlander Pipeline as the
centerpiece for building its unified digital campus.
Today Highlander Pipeline
now provides role-based portal services for admitted and enrolled students,
faculty, staff, and alumni. Luminis content management technologies allow for a
unified representation of content among internal and external websites, building
a stronger, and more unified brand presence. Repurposing content among internal
and external websites and other applications saves web publishing time and best
targets content to its appropriate audiences. Integration technologies allow
home grown and third-party applications to be easily added to the Highlander
Pipeline experience.
This session is intended for both functional and
technical managers looking for ways to leverage portal and content management
technologies at their respective institutions.

the address record of each family member to update an address. From any family
member's address record of a given type, one can view the corresponding
addresses and primary phone numbers for the other household members. Records
are clearly marked to show which addresses differ from the current address.
Users select with a checkbox whether or not to update differing records. Since
the new address and telephone APIs are available in our current version of
Banner 6, all address and telephone inserts and updates are made using these
APIs. Anyone using Banner Advancement who is interested in householding and

Imaging in Financial Aid and Beyond [277]
SCT Banner Xtender Solutions
325 B (CC) W1030
When we implemented Xtender Solutions in early 2004, the initial goal was to
improve the process flow within our office. After having become more accustomed
to the product and our use of it, we have now extended its use in our office to
include the ability to view documents we need from other offices, such as
transcripts and Social Security cards. The end result is that our office, with
minimal initial growing pains, is utilizing the imaging system to maximize our
own efforts, as well as the efforts of other departments. The planning and
testing portions of implementing Xtender Solutions were critical to our ability
to use the product well when we went live, but one of the biggest advantages of
it is an ability to make changes to our imaging procedures as we went along.
For example, although we initially only started with two routing statuses, we
now have 5, which we found better enables us to properly route incoming and
outgoing paperwork. Anyone who currently runs Xtender Solutions, or someone who
may be considering it as an imaging solution for their office, can see how the
functional side of imaging can be implemented and used to their benefit.

301 A (CC) M930
At UTSA all freshmen and freshman transfers with 29 or fewer college credit
hours are required to participate in an Orientation to register for their firstsemester classes, and these new students pre-register for these programs.
We have developed and adapted a method of using Banner to collect pre-registered
student data, and Crystal Reports in Banner to query, sort and create “prepsheet” reports for advisors. These “prep-sheets” serve the purpose of providing
the advisors student information regarding test scores, previous college credit,
and contact information like address and phone number. Individual students are
then divided into small groups of a single major. During the Orientation
process, a group is assigned to a particular advisor specializing in that
college. The result is an orderly, cohesive, and much more valuable orientation
session for students, as well as a much more efficient course selection and
schedule creation for inexperienced students.

Banner Finance modules without modifications to baseline. Permanent personnel
budgets are maintained in Position Control and interfaced to Finance. Temporary
personnel budgets are maintained in the Finance module only. We have created a
process that analyses the utilization of the permanent budgets on a monthly
basis relative to payroll expenditures against each permanent position. Through
this process, we post transactions to the finance ledgers that reflect
availability of temporary personnel funds. Temporary funding that is available
as a result of position vacancies is made available and reported in a timely
manner to financial managers.

Butler Community College implemented Luminis as a key element in our

disparate e-mail platforms to Luminis, a total communication package which
unites students, faculty and staff under one umbrella. Thus the motto was born,
“One College, One Portal”.
As change agents for Butler, the Pipeline Steering
Committee guided the implementation process. The challenge was moving users out
of their comfort zone and into the world of portal communication. In this
session we’ll discuss how our staff and students reacted in each of the stages
and what we did to help move them into acceptance - what worked, what didn’t,
and what we would have done differently. Butler moved to Luminis in March of
2003 and recently upgraded to Luminis 3.2. We’ve been a Campus Pipeline
institution since 1999. This presentation will give practical and valuable
advice to schools in the planning or implementation stages of Luminis.

By modifying job submission output using Perl, custom reports can be created

our own custom reports in addition to the standard Banner reports designed by
SCT. Our goal is not to modify any Banner baseline code in order to do custom
report printing because we often receive patches and upgrades which would
overwrite our modification. Our solution is to write Perl scripts which act as
an interpreter between Banner and the C/COBOL job submission programs to create
report files, which are opened, read and modified to create custom report files
which can be saved or/and printed from Banner. Banner patches or upgrades do
not affect the Perl scripts. Perl scripts can also be used to retrieve
additional data from the Banner database which can be added to the report. Tips
for programming Perl will also be presented. (Information Access Maturity

processes, including electronic signature. We will demonstrate how we modified
SCT’s delivered system to implement E-Perkins, as well as, share with you all of
the other electronic business processes utilized in the Perkins Loan process
flow. The use of the electronic promissory note and disclosure statements
eliminates the need to interact with the borrowers on an individual basis. This
was a very time consuming process in the past. It also streamlines the paper
flow process which was also quite tedious. NJIT implemented E-Perkins since the
Summer of 2003.

The Technology Pyramid: Understanding Where You Are on the Pyramid and How High
You Want to Go. This session will explore the progressive implementation of
technology in a financial aid office. Using the "Technology Pyramid" that was
featured in NASFAA's Student Aid Transcript, presenters will demonstrate ways to
increase the use of technology in a financial aid office with an emphasis on
staffing and cost considerations. The “Technology Pyramid” is an illustration
that provides a road map for implementing various technologies while moving
toward a paperless environment, and is loosely based on Maslow's "hierarchy of
needs." The eight levels of the pyramid will be discussed along with the
“drivers of change,” and the internal and external pressures that aid offices
face. Learn how the staff from student financial aid and administrative
computing services have worked together to move the financial aid delivery
system up the technology hierarchy. This presentation will feature its process
of moving student application information from the Web to the mainframe (Plus
SIS/FAM), and processing information from SIS/FAM back to the Web. See some
electronic administrative initiatives beyond processing aid.

benefits of having one electronic place for all of our campus community to go to
find information that's tailored to their individual needs. And, we think we may
have developed some new “best practices” in the process. In this presentation
we’ll discuss how we were able to put out our portal in two months and what
we’re doing with it. We’ll review our experience with both the Luminis product

Billing and Cash Receipts

More effective use of the three integration tools will improve efficiency and
accuracy of MCNY's financial functions. These tools are: the Charge/Credit
Import, the PowerFaids Interface, and the Integration Manager. We have used
these tools for converting detailed historical billing data, importing EFT
download files, exporting accounts payable files and reconciling the PowerCAMPUS
Billing and PowerFaids. In the process, we learned valuable lessons, customized
utilities and discovered pitfalls that need to be resolved with technical help.
The Charge/Credit Import and PowerFaids Interface are easier to use. Yet, in
order to get the greatest advantage from them, it is helpful for users to
prepare data using Microsoft Access and/or Microsoft Excel before importing it
into these utilities. Integration Manager needs a lot of set-up on Great Plains
and PowerCAMPUS before use. In order for it to be the most flexible to the
user's needs, an SQL administrator should help customize it for maximum
usability.

The demand for custom programming or integration with administrative systems
usually far exceeds our programming staff's ability to provide it. If
programming priorities are not made at the highest levels of the university,
choices may be made that fail to take into account enterprise-wide funding
strategies, life cycle planning, support issues and integration opportunities.
Yet in order to get the university’s highest officials to take part in such a
process it must be consistent, succinct, and eventually beneficial to all
concerned. Consistent in that it is predictable and regular, succinct in that
it avoids involving decision makers at too low a level, and beneficial in that
each participant feels that his or her interests are being considered. One way
to deal with these issues is to formalize the programming prioritization
process. In this session we will demonstrate the difficulties of implementing
such a process, and the benefits to doing so. We will provide templates for
project submissions, calendars and communication approaches to be successful.
This session should be particularly beneficial to small or medium size
universities with a limited number of campuses.

Re-aligning Roll Forward Schedules

[674]
The processes of academic scheduling, as practiced in the United States, has
traditionally been confined to a processes of rolling forward schedules from
“like” terms and assigning rooms to those activities still needing them. Eastern
Connecticut State University has been part of a collaborative team headed up by
SunGard SCT Partner Astra Schedule that has developed a schedule building
analytics tool set that helps refine academic schedules to better fit student
needs.
Schedule refinement consists of the following steps: student demand for
courses needed for their program of study, student conflict analysis (time
conflicts between two or more sections that they need to take), and a weighting
process that allows institutions to isolate a few high impact offering or time
changes in the roll forward schedule. The resulting schedule improves students’
ability to advance toward their degree attainment and the institution’s ability
to eliminate unneeded sections. In essence, these steps are a roll forward “realignment” that can be done every term or periodically as a prequel to the
traditional process of academic scheduling. Audience: Registrars and Schedulers

Report Consistency - System Change [545]
SCT Plus
Reporting and Distribution Tools
Coral Lounge IV (H)
M930
Consistency in data reporting is essential for meeting demands of external
reporting agencies and for providing reliable data/information for institutional
planning.
Cooperative relationships between NKU’s information technology staff
and institutional research have provided consistent and accurate statutory
reporting and internal management reporting across three different student data
systems and two different human resource systems. The current systems are SCT
Plus. The presentation describes the working structure of that relationship and
the current efforts to meet cost constraints through internally developed
procedures to provide paperless reports. The presentation is directed toward
administrators and technical professionals who must provide timely and accurate
reports within constrained and reduced budgets. It will include illustrations
of file design and report structures and our conceptual approach in the
transition to yet another system. Report examples will utilize IPEDS Enrollment
and Completions reports and internal enrollment and faculty instructional
activity reports. (Information Access Maturity Level: 3 & 4)

McGill University is in the process of implementing Imaging in the Department of
Human Resources. The project’s primary goal is threefold: use SCT Banner Xtender
Solutions to reduce HR’s dependence on paper; take advantage of document
management; and provide secure and accurate access to employee and position
documents for a greater number of users. Another key objective was cutting down
on filing and recovering space in HR.
In this session, you will learn what
prompted us to take this route and we will walk you through our project as we
struggled with – and ultimately resolved – many of the issues that revolve
around implementing Imaging. We will cover how we selected the documents to be
scanned, revised the document handling, determined our document types, designed
new applications, dealt with retention issues, and how we decided to handle the
paper documents after they were imaged. We will also look at how we dealt with
back files and prepared those records for scanning as well as how we leveraged
this solution to share certain documents with other units, such as Student
Records. McGill is now well on its way to meeting its paperless objectives.
This session will be of interest to HR functional users, technical staff, and
other users looking to move towards Imaging.

Slicing and Dicing with Reports
[091]
SCT Banner Reporting and Distribution Tools
Coral Lounge IV (H)
T730
This session will focus on Miami’s development of highly parameterized ad hoc
reports that allow information consumers across the university to “slice and
dice” information with no knowledge of underlying data structures. Several
years ago, Miami recognized that most information consumers on campus are not
skilled in manipulating complex data structures such as those found in Banner.
Indeed, many information consumers are completely unfamiliar with the
terminology and concepts surrounding databases and report development. And we
recognized that most information consumers do not have the time to become
experts…nor should they have to. Our response was to create a series of highly
parameterized reports that we call “Point and Clicks.” These reports allow
information consumers to select information based on a wide variety of criteria
without knowing anything about the underlying data. This session will discuss
the design of the Point and Click reports (including a built-in help system),
the kinds of training needed, Miami’s support model for the reports, and both
the successes and pitfalls that we have encountered over the past two years in
deploying these reports. We will demonstrate the reports live through Miami’s
Web-based electronic report distribution system. (Information Access Maturity

Ten Business Practice Questions
SCT Banner Advancement
Honolulu III (H) M130
[033]
What are your top business practice questions that facilitate the implementation
and continuation of an effective information/management system? Over the past
decade I have observed that we often do not focus on business practice questions
in the implementation stage for online system, and we certainly spend a lot of
time with “system work-arounds” after the fact. So, I want to suggest that out
of this decade of “work-arounds” that there are some questions that I have begun
to focus on. For instance:
1. What are the data entry standards and who controls or negotiates any
modification in standards?
2. What are the implications of system changes on current business practice?
3. What are the reporting structures and end-user access to those reporting
structures?
4. What happens when you change senior administrators and they want to operate
differently, i.e., want information in different formats, than prior senior
administrators?
5. How do you differentiate between a system issue and an institutional
political or local practice issue?
6. What are the differences in information-qua-information and information-quamanagement?
7. How integrated should integrated information really be?
And, there are more questions that each of us should focus. In this session I
will pose ten questions that I think are primary, provide responses that I think
are practical and adaptable to the Banner system, and provide opportunity for
you to critique my suggestions and add your questions.

This session will take some of the fear out of planning and implementing BXS at

information system within the Educational Institutions. Systems to manage paper
files are quite diverse and range from the technical and well researched to the
old “that’s the way we have always done it” method. Regardless of how simple or
elaborate the systems, it is estimated that in the average office, 3%-5% of
paper documents are lost, 1%-3% are misfiled and that on average $120.00 is
spent on labor researching a lost document (that figure doubles if it is unfound
and has to be recreated). Paper can be expensive! Undertaking a Digital

SCT TracDat by Nuventive
325 A (CC) M130
Accrediting agencies have begun to require colleges and universities to provide
evidence from student outcome measures when applying for new or continuing
accreditation. Teacher education is often the most extensive and exhaustive
accreditation undertaken by an institution. TracDat has provided a solution for
tracking student performance data to support accreditation, but it can provide a
structure for the accreditation process as well. This session will highlight the
use of TracDat to focus and manage the process of preparing for accreditation as
well as the management of student data used to support accreditation. In its
first year of implementation at Western Michigan University, TracDat 3.0 has
served to organize and represent outcome data on over five thousand students in
the College of Education. More importantly, TracDat has been used as an
organizer for the multifaceted process of preparing for NCATE accreditation and
as a means of increasing faculty awareness and involvement in accreditation.
The session will demonstrate the application of the TracDat interface to the
tasks associated with a large-scale accreditation effort.

our constituencies? How should these data be structured to answer the most
common and important institutional inquiries? And finally, how can core Banner
data be combined with other data from on- and off-campus sources to address

At Rider University we have developed a web-based application that works with
Plus2000 HRS in tracking and administering faculty contracts. The application,
called OACS (Overload/Adjunct Contract System), allows administrators and
academic departments to enter adjunct/overload course assignment information and
directly relates it to HRS department codes, position numbers and budgetary
accounts. The contract information is electronically sent to HR, converted into
an HRS file maintenance process and uploaded as HRS assignments. This process
expedites the faculty contract process and eliminates the need for manual data
entry. We will present the fundamentals, both functional and technical, of the
OACS system, how it integrates with HRS and a demo of OACS (via the web). This
presentation is intended for an experienced HR functional and technical

New Jersey Institute of Technology began “web time entry” this fall for its
nearly 2,000 faculty, students, and staff on bi-weekly payrolls. This movement
from paper “RECAP Sheets” to an online form has been the largest campus-wide
process change for faculty and staff since introduction of online requisitioning
almost 20 years ago. Change is sometimes difficult to manage and is much easier
when the proper thought is applied to the customization and configuration
decisions that arose in our initial testing of the system. This session will
address the entire planning cycle for Web Time Entry at NJIT, including initial
exploration of system features and configuration options, decision paths,
protocol analysis by users to identify customization and training needs, and the
business rationale for incremental roll-out with continual risk analysis and
review. NJIT has been a long-time user of the HRS Plus product. Web Time Entry
has been implemented as an additional “self-service” feature within Highlander
Pipeline, NJIT’s implementation of the Luminis portal. The session is targeted

Why Timetabling and not Scheduling? [459]

Colleges and universities invest extensive resources and planning in the success
of their programs. Effectively timetabling these activities has become
increasingly important due to the growing and diverse needs of students, the
variety of programs, budget constraints, changes in curriculum and increased
demand on space. Students, Instructors and Rooms are the three main elements of
timetabling. An activity being scheduled must fit the timetables of each of
these resources. Coordinating the schedule, so that the needs of the students
and instructors are met while maximizing the use of teaching space is a huge
task. Ignoring any one of these timetabling elements can lead to
dissatisfaction and loss of revenue. Find out how and why a growing number of
