Class Schedule
This dashboard provides a breakdown of classes (excluding College in High School and cancelled classes) listed in Peoplesoft for the Academic Term selected and aggregate enrollment by class characteristics. Use the drop-down filters in the first row to select a specific set of classes. Filter settings can be saved using a custom view.

We strongly recommend applying at least one of the filters to optimize performance. You can reset the filters by clicking the Revert buttonin the top left part of the browsers window (see screenshot).
Instructor Load
This dashboard is split into two parts: the top half of the dashboard summarizes the profile of University instructors; and the bottom half allows users to zoom-in and view details of a specific instructor. Use the drop-down menus to summarize the breakdown of instructors for a specific term, school, or program assignment; or, to limit types of courses by grad/undergrad or lecture/seminar/recitation. To update the instructor-specific view, click on the desired instructor name from the table in the top-left section of the dashboard. The bottom half of the screen should update to show the selected instructor’s full teaching load across all Schools and Course Components and instructor's historical teaching load.
