The Challenge: Inefficient Academic Scheduling and Room Management

greenville-technical-college-logo

Greenville Technical College was struggling with a fragmented and outdated scheduling system. The reliance on paper records, pencil entries, and Outlook calendars led to frequent double bookings and miscommunications. The issue was compounded by the use of two separate Student Information Systems (SIS) for academic and continuing education programs. This disjointed setup resulted in wasted time, inefficient use of space, and frustration for everyone involved—from faculty and staff to students.

The Results:

Embracing Advanced Scheduling Software for a New Era of Efficiency and Reliability

The implementation of Series25 brought about transformative results for Greenville Technical College including: 

  • Significant Time and Resource Savings: The college was able to reduce the time spent on scheduling by half! Administrative staff, who previously spent countless hours coordinating room assignments and resolving conflicts, could now focus on more strategic tasks. Efficiency translated into cost savings and a more productive use of resources.
  • Maximized Space Utilization: Series25 optimized room assignments based on real-time data, considering factors such as room attributes and faculty preferences. Our intelligent allocation system ensured that spaces were used to their full potential, reducing wasted space and enhancing the learning environment for students.
  • Complete Elimination of Scheduling Conflicts: The centralized scheduling process eliminated the issues of double bookings and communication breakdowns that had burdened the college for years. With all requests funneled through one system, the risk of errors was minimized, leading to a more reliable and stress-free experience for both staff and students.
  • Improved Campus Operations: The smoother scheduling process also had a positive ripple effect on other aspects of campus life. With more efficient room usage and fewer conflicts, Greenville Technical College was able to better meet the needs of its growing student population, contributing to a more organized and effective educational environment.

The Solution: Integrating Systems with Series25 for Seamless Scheduling

To address these challenges, Greenville Tech implemented Series25. The college worked closely with its SIS provider to merge the two separate systems into a single, integrated platform. This new approach centralized all scheduling data, including events, room attributes, and user information. By doing so, Greenville Tech ensured that both academic and continuing education programs were managed cohesively. The result was a streamlined scheduling process that eliminated previous inefficiencies, allowing for real-time access to available spaces and more effective resource management. You can imagine the pressure this took off of the administrative team!
