The course enrollment insights tool provides class-level historical and current enrollment data for all academic programs to inform course planning via an easy-to-use dashboard.

The tool assists colleges, schools, and departments in examining enrollment patterns for individual courses (and course sections) to make future scheduling decisions easier and more data-informed.

This tool was developed in response to requests from campus partners in Academic Affairs, the colleges and schools, and the Office of Data Analytics.
