Case Study: Hawaii Pacific University boosts retention and streamlines academic operations with Coursedog

Hawaii Pacific University boosts first-year retention 2–3% and saves $300K+ with Coursedog

Hawaii Pacific University faced challenges with manual, spreadsheet-based academic scheduling and curriculum management processes. These outdated methods lacked real-time data, enforcement mechanisms, and transparency, leading to inefficient room utilization and slow program launches. The university partnered with Coursedog to implement its academic operations platform to address these issues.

By implementing Coursedog, HPU centralized its scheduling and curriculum management, providing real-time data and dashboards to all stakeholders. This solution resulted in a 75% reduction in time spent on scheduling, a 54% increase in balanced sections, and a 2–3% boost in first-year retention, which generates over $300,000 in annual tuition revenue. Coursedog also cut new program launch time by more than half, contributing to a 200% growth in graduate enrollment.
