Session Description: Purdue has reaped many advantages from its support and use of UniTime, an open source course scheduling system. Among these are:

* Better ability to adapt to quickly changing needs through open processes and dialogue.
* Improved performance of Purdue's fundamental mission: providing for the education of its students.
* Increased availability of information required to help plan for future needs.
* Enabled cost savings as a result of better planning. 
* Ease of integration with other systems.

This presentation will give examples of how UniTime has made improvements in each of these areas, and will touch on one example feature requested by users, the Advisor Recommendation Form. It is intended for anyone with an interest in enhancing the performance of their university and how UniTime can assist.
