Case Study: CCNY STEM Institute streamlines admissions, attendance, and grading with DreamClass

CCNY STEM Institute From Patchwork Systems to One Hub of Learning

The CCNY STEM Institute, a dynamic STEM enrichment program in New York City, faced significant operational challenges. Using a fragmented system of Jotform, Google Sheets, and Google Classroom to manage admissions, attendance, and grading was inefficient and time-consuming. They needed a single, flexible platform that could adapt to their unique, multi-location program with non-traditional student schedules. During their search, they found that larger systems were too rigid, leading them to the vendor DreamClass.

DreamClass provided a centralized and highly customizable solution that consolidated all of the Institute's operations into one platform. The implementation was smooth, and the staff now uses DreamClass for admissions, attendance, grading, and communications, including an automated early alert system for struggling students. This has resulted in streamlined operations, improved collaboration, and faster admissions processes. The measurable impact for the CCNY STEM Institute includes efficiently managing 3,300 students and empowering instructors with flexible grading tools, making DreamClass the central hub for their entire program.
