University of Niagara Falls Canada scales to 200+ sections and saves 50 days a year with Coursedog

The University of Niagara Falls Canada faced significant challenges in managing its academic scheduling as it grew. Their manual processes, reliant on spreadsheets and their Ellucian Colleague SIS, were time-consuming, prone to error, and lacked real-time visibility, making it difficult to guarantee accuracy and manage changes efficiently. To address this, they implemented Coursedog's Academic Scheduling platform.

By adopting Coursedog, the university centralized its scheduling operations, gaining automated validation and real-time visibility. This solution enabled the same two-person team to scale section volume by 4x to over 200 sections per term without adding staff. The implementation eliminated approximately 50 days of manual work annually, improved room utilization, and provided reliable, system-validated data that built trust across the campus.
