Scheduling courses for higher education campuses has always been a labor-intensive task, and is often made even more complicated by long, unorganized spreadsheets. With Accruent's EMS solution, however, users can simplify the course scheduling process, increasing productivity and saving your academic planning team's valuable time.
EMS makes course scheduling easy by allowing you to customize course preferences. Within the EMS desktop client, you can take into account all course preferences, including:
- Building selections
- Room size
- Equipment needed
- Location
- Instructor preferences
- Instructor availability
Watch the video below for a detailed demo on how to set course preferences in EMS Campus.
