Case Study: Wilkes University Streamlines Academic Scheduling and Avoids Double Bookings with Coursedog

Wilkes University avoids double bookings and speeds data propagation with Coursedog

Wilkes University faced significant operational challenges with its academic scheduling and data management. Their previous system resulted in frequent scheduling and room reservation conflicts, including a critical double-booking incident involving the biology department and the President's office. This system also failed to integrate properly with their Student Information System (SIS), creating data inconsistencies and inefficiencies that necessitated a change.

To resolve these issues, the university implemented the Coursedog platform. The solution synchronized data in real-time across their academic operations and integrated seamlessly with their SIS. This eliminated double-bookings and scheduling conflicts. While specific metrics were not provided by Wilkes, a similar institution cited time savings of over 580 hours per year, demonstrating the measurable impact of Coursedog's solution.
