Talk at SACRAO 2011 (English - US)
SESSION ROOM: ATLANTA 2
The Office of the Registrar can play a pivotal role in not only serving as data stewards, but assisting academic departments in determining the appropriate number of courses and sections to schedule for upcoming semesters. This predictive ability can potentially eliminate bottlenecks that might occur when students are registering for classes which can impede time to graduation. Various data mining techniques utilized in the Office of the Registrar allow the opportunity for staff to serve as change agents for the University by assisting academic departments in achieving their goals and objectives. This presentation will focus on how the Office of the Registrar at The University of Texas at Austin is working with the academic community to implement policy change, transparency in the scheduling process, and begin the process of developing a forecasting model to predict course enrollment for future semesters.

Good presentation. The room wasn't ready for AV so had to move to another room :(
I was confused about the closing limit, but later he explained that it is the census date (ah ha)! (Maybe a definition sheet handout)?
Presenter was articulate and easy to hear. I'm going to learn more about the CRIPS data model.
Rate is 4 only because of the AV issue, not the fault of the presenter.

Expected FERPA. Decided to stay to learn about how to improve out schedule based on a predictive model, but we did not get that either. He did describe a process for developing such a model, and did it well.

Shelby outlined the procedures needed to begin predicting course demand. It's evident this will vary by institution, based on policies and institutional cultures. Very helpful!

More concrete specific examples of trends and findings along with results of what actions they've taken, would have been helpful
