Overview
Coursedog builds an integrated SaaS platform for higher education operations. It connects scheduling, curriculum and syllabus management, and online course catalogs with a university’s existing Student Information System (SIS) so data stays in sync in real time. Administrators use the platform to project course demand, automate room assignments, apply scheduling policies, and capture faculty preferences, reducing manual data entry and scheduling conflicts. By offering a single, connected toolset instead of spreadsheets and legacy systems, Coursedog helps colleges and universities run their academic operations more efficiently and support student success. The company earns recurring revenue through a one-time implementation fee plus annual licenses that scale with institution size, and it targets customers from individual schools to large systems like CUNY and BYU. Its goal is to streamline institutional workflows with data-driven analytics to improve scheduling and enrollment outcomes.
