“Using Coursedog’s workflow logic and custom decision function we’ve created a variety of “expedited” workflow pathways in specific scenarios. In our old process, there was only one pathway and users were accustomed to it being rigid and inflexible.”

Dr. William Cook

Professor of Biological Sciences & University Curriculum Coordinator

Parker University

“I love that the Coursedog curriculum pulls directly out of our SIS and that it is the one place that I need to update. Now with changes going into a workflow, approved changes are now correct in the SIS and Coursedog for the catalog. When the curriculum council disbursed word documents with approved course descriptions or changes, they didn’t always get updated in every place.”

Andi Repp

Senior Director and Registrar

Northern Arizona University

"Coursedog has provided us with a system to ensure best practices are being utilized for both processes and policies which has assisted in making our course scheduling much more efficient. Coursedog is successful because of the flexible and collaborative approach they have taken in partnering with our institution, and we are excited to expand our partnership to further streamline our academic operations."

“We believe that Coursedog’s software will help us go from seven hours per change to three hours per change. Based on an average number of changes in a year, we foresee saving +580 hours every year.”

“Since the beginning, the relationship with the people at Coursedog has been one of mutual understanding and respect. Our sense of urgency, concern, interest, and desire to learn is matched by those at Coursedog. Additionally, when we need Coursedog personnel to be patient, they do so without question. The response to a problem is, many times, more important than the problem itself. Our contacts at Coursedog know how to respond quickly.”

“We really like the fact that Coursedog is instantly validating our rules, and showing the conflicts. I really like the data reports – it's live data.”

“It is very intuitive to use. We have some other software products that aren’t easy to use and it is hard to get people to use them. We’ve found with Coursedog that they are intuitive to use and to set-up.”

Luke Phillips

Ashland University

"The quantifiable impact was just the ability to move the scheduling out of our office into other departments closer to where the action is. They know better what they're trying to accomplish, what classes they need to offer, all the uniquenesses of rooms and those kinds of things."

Mark Britton

Registrar

Illinois Central College

"The culture has improved with our faculty since implementation. They embraced using Coursedog for their curriculum. It was very tedious to look at course and program proposal revisions using our homegrown system. Now, when a new faculty member decides to do a program revision, all they have to do is log on and follow the prompts. Coursedog has also saved us a lot of time by not having to hold a lot of tutorials or videos to teach our faculty/staff how to submit their curriculum. We have noticed how much happier faculty is when they realize how easy Coursedog makes this process."

Stacy Gehrig

Dean, Curriculum and Scheduling

Laguna College of Art & Design

“(Coursedog) was definitely more intuitive. It's a fairly easy system to use and the number one reason that we went with the system is to know how much space we have and how much space we need. Now, we're able to actually quantify our space numbers presented to the Board and easily make a case for additional space. I can go, well, we're using 72 percent of our space on these days, or we've got space here.”

Laura Patrick

Registrar and Director of Institutional Research

Minnesota State Community & Technical College

“Coursedog is enabling us to empower students to really take ownership over their schedule. It’s going to be incredible to have the ability to put together a schedule that really matches the needs of our student demographics.”

Alicia Carley

Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences

Oklahoma State University

“I'm really excited to work with our CSM to propose and implement new tools or updates to Coursedog that could not only benefit OSU but other institutions as well. OSU has really prided itself on not raising tuition rates for several years in a row, and at the heart of that is a lot of cooperation between different departments and offices to make data-based decisions. I think Coursedog could provide similar analytics and data to other Oklahoma institutions to achieve similar results”

Jennifer Ferguson

Course Management & Classroom Scheduling Coordinator, Registrar’s Office

Catawba College

"It has empowered the faculty to think more intentionally about what they're offering and when they're offering it, rather than just rolling the prior semester or prior year schedule. Our previous process was very manual. We now empower one user in each academic division to load their classes rather than having a full-time Registrar's Office staff member completely build the class schedule off a spreadsheet."
