The problem
Student Overload
"How can we give each student individualized help without spending hours or cutting corners?"
As school populations increase, finite resources are having to be spread increasingly thin. Incoming freshman do not understand the pressures that will face them at college and require special assistance from advisors to even build a simple schedule. Often times the resulting schedule is not conducive to success and good students slip through the cracks.
Some schools hire many new advisors, others try to have large group advising sessions, while even some try to advise over the phone. These solutions increase cost and decrease value.
Oftentimes advising sessions include the student saying they could not get into class X and the advisor (with pencil and paper) tries to work through the problem with the student. This consumes the allotted advising time with low level low quality assistance resulting in students not being adequately prepared for their 4 year degree.
- Students struggle with scheduling and suffer at the hands of a poor schedule.
- Advisors are unable to effectively communicate scheduling concerns with students through standard mediums (internet, phone, web, face2face).
- New students do not understand scheduling and often times make scheduling errors. (ie: 6 classes back to back without lunch)

Streamline Your Offering - Preorder Books
With CourseScheduler you can help your local ecosystem by offering preorders after a student arrives at their perfect schedule. If your local bookstore knows how many students to expect for a particular class, they can purchase the right amount of books during buyback and avoid that dreaded 'Out of stock.'
Students can worry about football tickets instead of if they have the books they need.
Save time - Sort Schedules
