Alternative Scheduling. ERIC Digest.
Mabry, Theo N.
Alternative scheduling provides community colleges with a means to adapt to declining enrollments and fiscal exigencies, and to respond the demand for accountability to students. Strategies such as departing from traditional semester- or quarter-length courses and developing weekend programs have been implemented at certain institutions to encourage college attendance among new segments of the local population. Other options, such as lengthening class periods or shortening the school week, have been pursued to reduce costs for students and/or the institution. (MDB)
