Academic operations
Academic operations for the Provost: the spring draft schedule by department, seniors against capstone seats from the degree audit, seats against last spring's demand, faculty load and lines with cost per seat, a course's week grid, and decisions that open a section with the lightest-loaded instructor and a free room, cancel one planned above demand or approve a frozen search.
One working session with the people in the seat: which decisions, which systems, what a good week looks like.
The app you see above, running on your own exports instead of the simulated world. Every screen, every decision, your numbers.
Wired to your systems with your permissions, agents proposing, people approving, the ledger recording who did what.
Overview
The draft schedule is built department by department from habit. The degree audit knows which seniors still need a capstone, last spring's waitlists know which gateway courses were short, and HR knows which lines are frozen; nobody joins them before registration opens.
The app joins the degree audit, the draft, last spring's enrolment and waitlists, and the faculty lines. It opens on the decisions the draft implies: capstone sections to open, gateway sections to add, sections to cancel, searches to approve. Each review page proposes the instructor with the lightest load and a room that fits, and confirming puts the section into the draft, the instructor's load and the graduation table the same day.
