Higher Education Enrollment Decision Support (HEEDS)

HEEDS is an open-source web-based program to support enrollment planning by Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs), particularly the State Universities and Colleges in the Philippines. Intended as an add-on module to an existing academic information system, HEEDS empowers the Registrar to single-handedly advise all students (auto advising), to predict the demand for subjects (auto needs analysis), and to pre-enlist students en masse into classes (auto pre-enlistment). Thus, HEEDS greatly reduces the time and effort expended by department chairs, academic advisers and students in the enrollment planning process.

What's next?

HEEDS is old. It's precursor, REGIST, is even older.

The next iteration is DCP - Degree Completion Planning, which will probably incorporate HEEDS.
