Truckee Meadows Community College Saves Time and Space with Automated Scheduling!

A new interface connecting Truckee Meadows’ PeopleSoft SIS and the Schedule25® optimized course scheduling system from CollegeNET has eliminated 80% of all manual course scheduling for the school. Not only is Truckee Meadows saving 100 plus hours of administrative time, it has greatly improved its space use efficiency. Prior to implementing Schedule25, TMCC had been at the bottom of the Nevada System of Higher Education’s (NSHE) utilization scorecard. The school now ranks among area’s top schools for space utilization.

Truckee Meadows Community College “Schedule25 was wonderful!!!  What used to take me two weeks to do was done in about three seconds.” -- Vicky Davis, Program Officer at Truckee Meadows Community College.
