Move the graduation rate one blocked course at a time.
Students thirty credits from a degree stall on one section. Find them by name the term before, open the seat, and count the graduates. Graduation is the number the state, the board, and the Department of Education all read.

“With a streamlined experience and registration process, course scheduling during advising sessions is faster. This allows more time for advisors to engage with students on mission-focused topics, such as different degrees and faster graduation routes.”Juan Gilberto GarciaVice President for Enrollment Management, Texas A&M International University
Questions institutions ask about graduation & on-time completion
Short answers, in the words a cabinet uses. For anything not here, ask us directly.
Why do students stall so close to a degree?
Usually one blocked course, not lost momentum. Students thirty credits from a degree stall on one unavailable section or unmet requirement — findable a term ahead.
How do we raise our graduation rate?
Find each student’s specific barrier and remove it, instead of running a general campaign: the blocked plan, the unavailable section, the unmet requirement. Del Mar College grew graduation applications 26%, from 687 in Spring 2016 to 865 in Spring 2017.
What is degree planning worth to persistence?
In the 2026 Student Success Impact Report, academic planning produced a 10 percent sustained persistence lift over multiple years: 11 percent for new students and 15 percent for online students. The lift comes from plans students revisit, not plans filed once.
How does course scheduling affect completion?
A plan is only as good as the seats behind it. Demand forecasting shows which sections students need, so the schedule is built from degree plans, not last year's schedule.
Can we see time to degree, not just the six-year rate?
Yes. Time to degree, credit accumulation, and progression are tracked by population, where full-time and part-time completion differ.
Does this work for community colleges?
Yes. Austin Community College moved fall-to-spring persistence from 70.8% to 74.9% (Spring 2021 to Spring 2023) and increased two-year completion 13% (Fall 2015 to Fall 2021 cohorts).
