Using the Go/No-Go Report

The Go/No-Go report provides a snapshot of current enrollments by course section as well as projected revenues, projected margins, and other course detail. The purpose is to enable Academic units to make timely decisions regarding which course sections to run and which might benefit from additional marketing and/or outreach activities to improve enrollment revenues and margins.

The Go/No-Go Report

The Go/No-Go report reflects course information and enrollment data for the full list of approved course sections for any given quarter, organized by academic unit. Course and enrollment information reflected in the report comes directly from Destiny while the course, unit, and department costs reflected in the report are derived from current year budgets.

There are no fixed enrollment, revenue, or margin threshold targets for making the go/no-go decision. Instead, academic units are given discretion to manage their course portfolios to meet a variety of (sometimes competing) priorities. These decisions should be made with overall budgeted enrollment and revenue targets for each unit and strategic plan goals in mind.

Running the Go/No-Go Report

The Go/No-Go report can be run at any time by anyone with access to the UNEX Reporting Services site.

1. From the UNEX Reporting Services home page, click on Go No-Go Report.
2. Select the appropriate Program Office (Extension Academic department) from the drop-down menu. You must finish making your selection and then tab out of the drop-down field before proceeding.
3. Optional - to restrict the report results to a particular academic unit/cost center, select the appropriate Costing Unit (the term used by Destiny to denote cost center in the general ledger) from the drop-down menu.
4. Select the upcoming academic quarter from the Quarter drop-down menu. In most cases, Reporting Services will default to the next quarter.
5. Click View Report to generate the Go/No-Go report.
6. Click the disk icon to export the file to Excel or PDF, according to your needs.

Go/No-Go Report Distribution

The Go/No-Go report is run and distributed to academic units daily by Extension BFS beginning two weeks prior to the start of each academic quarter and continuing for three full weeks (through the end of the first week of the new term). Staff are encouraged to run ad hoc reports at any time, as necessary, using the above instructions.
