What Makes Coursedog Different? 

Coursedog is the Integrated Academic Operations Platform. Empowering academic administrators to support on-time completions and achieve operational excellence with integrated academic and event scheduling, course demand projections, curriculum management, and online catalog solutions through a single, bi-directional integration with your SIS.

Why Choose Coursedog over Modern Campus (formerly Digarc)

Institutions who are looking for an integrated academic operations tool that has both a modern, easy-to-use interface and the flexibility to work with your unique needs will find that Coursedog is the ideal solution.

Integrated Course, Room, and Event Scheduling: 

Modern Campus has a lightweight section scheduling tool that is missing key features such as rules validation and cross-listing functionality. Coursedog has a fully integrated academic and event scheduling solution that makes it easy for institutions to schedule course sections, instructors, rooms, and events on campus.

Coursedog’s modern, intuitive UI, self-serve capabilities, flexible data model, and high level of configurability results in higher administration and faculty adoption rates and a smoother change management experience.

“The more third party solutions you bring on and integrate with, the higher the security risks you’re opening yourself up to. These processes also remain disparate when using different tools to execute them.”
