Create near-perfect schedules

It's impossible for humans to design ideal schedules by hand — there are too many variables. ofCourse makes millions of calculations to create near-perfect schedules.

Insulate yourself from faculty demands

Some faculty demand the impossible. ofCourse collects their preferences electronically, then generates the best possible schedule with everyone in mind.

Course diversity protection

It is vital to remember who these schedules are for—the student. So building schedules that respect their requirements is paramount. Our Course Diversity engine automagically prevents competing classes from being scheduled in conflict.

Automatic room assignments

True space optimizaton often gets overlooked given all of the other scheduling challenges. Our sophisticated room placement tools make this a problem of the past. After experiencing them, you will wonder how (and why) you ever did it manually.

Save hundreds of hours

Designing the course schedule can be your worst time of year. Or it can be the best, with ofCourse. Our proven 5-step workflow will reduce your scheduling teams' time and effort by 90% and produce vastly better schedules.

Eliminate sticky-notes and spreadsheets

A snarl of sticky-notes and spreadsheets is no way to build a schedule. Our elegant cloud-based software lets you and your team repeatedly build beautiful, highly optimized schedules from anywhere.

Optimize for in-class or online

It doesn't matter whether your courses are on campus, online, or both. ofCourse collects your preferences and builds the best schedule for your circumstances. Because while an online course might not need a room, it still requires course diversity oversight.

Post-production changes

Many schedules are modified right up until the first day of classes. Our Collision Management System makes quick and safe work of these requests. It is the most-loved feature of our platform, mostly because schedule-makers have never slept so well—knowing their modified schedules have zero-issues.

Schedule notification system

When the final schedule is reviewed and approved, click a single button and in the next sixty seconds, all teaching faculty will receive a customized email notification, letting them know what their teaching assignments are. This is such a satisfying way to end every schedule build.

Lean on our academic support team

Our academic support team has helped build hundreds of university course schedules. Incubated at Washington University in St. Louis, we personally understand the challenges of course scheduling — and we're here to help you every step of the way.

What our clients say

“I have been using ofCourse for two years and I cannot think of making a schedule without it. The system is incredibly user friendly—it really does create a basic schedule with the click of a button. But the system is flexible as well, giving the user the ability to customize and improve on that basic schedule. Not only is it easier for me, students and faculty love the schedules I’ve been able to create. Students report far fewer conflicts and faculty get their day and time preferences most of the time.”

“10/10 Would totally use again and recommend to friends. Training was fun, not painful. Program is easy to learn and will make you happy inside if you’ve ever scheduled an academic year for a law school without assistive technology. I love that it’s smart enough to build multiple schedules in seconds and has the flexibility for users to fine tune the schedule without unraveling the whole thing.”

“This was our first time using ofCourse and our experience has been great! Troy walked us through each step of the process in detail and promptly answered the many questions we had as we went along. We were impressed by the amazing service Troy provided, as well as the many helpful features ofCourse has available. In particular, we found it very useful to have the ability to categorize all our courses into their subject matter groups and, at a glance, ensure courses in the same group did not conflict. We also found the schedule reports and various charts, readily available for download, to be great visual aids when we started presenting the schedule to our various stakeholders. Thank you, ofCourse!”

“I have the zeal of a convert when it comes to ofCourse. Using an algorithm to produce the class schedule is a no-brainer, but only if the system is intuitive and flexible, and comes with loads of user support. All three are true here.”

“I had never put together a course schedule by myself before and was nervous about the entire process. ofCourse made everything so easy because they have thought of everything! Not only did they walk us through all the steps of collecting information, inputting our courses and faculty preferences and crafting our fall and spring schedules, but they were there as a resource for me when I had general and specific questions about course scheduling. They are experts — so grateful to ofCourse!”

“With the help of ofCourse, we built a schedule that received no complaints from the faculty. Zero, none, nada! This is a first in my eight years of helping to build the semester schedule, so it brings me so much joy! No one had to compromise & no one got the short end of the stick.”
