2. Problem CCSN has responded in the past to rapid enrollment growth, but now growth is slowing. CCSN has responded in the past to rapid enrollment growth, but now growth is slowing. Campuses, centers and sites, as well as internal scheduling processes, have emerged in response to rapid growth, but now we need to reflect on optimum use of facilities and scheduling for best distribution of programs.

13. Scheduling Proposal 1: Skeletal Matrix A skeletal draft of a fall and subsequent spring semesters provides an opportunity for chairs to ensure effective course distribution to the campuses, high tech centers, remote (rural) sites, and urban preparation/skills sites. A skeletal draft of a fall and subsequent spring semesters provides an opportunity for chairs to ensure effective course distribution to the campuses, high tech centers, remote (rural) sites, and urban preparation/skills sites. Developing both the fall and spring schedule shells should promote effective course sequencing which could aid program completion rates. Developing both the fall and spring schedule shells should promote effective course sequencing which could aid program completion rates. To achieve a more appropriate blend of course and program distribution to our sites, the proposed skeletal matrix provides assistance to departments. For instance, campuses are intended to deliver more comprehensive degree, certificate, and transfer services than high tech centers. High tech centers deliver more than rural sites. Preparation/skill sites concentrate on developmental education.
