Catawba College streamlines scheduling and cuts 10-15 email back-and-forths with Coursedog

Catawba College faced significant operational challenges due to disjointed academic scheduling and an outdated catalog. Their manual, siloed scheduling process in Ellucian Banner led to frequent course conflicts and barriers for students trying to stay on track for graduation. Additionally, their catalog was an inaccessible PDF that was inconsistent with their student information system. To address these issues, they partnered with Coursedog for its Academic Scheduling and catalog management solutions.

By implementing Coursedog, Catawba unified its systems, giving faculty greater control over room scheduling and transforming its catalog into a dynamic recruitment tool. The solution streamlined operations, eliminated endless administrative back-and-forth, and allowed the Registrar's office to adopt a more strategic role. Coursedog enabled the college to plan schedules semesters in advance, directly improving student retention and success by ensuring required courses are available and helping students avoid scheduling conflicts.
