“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.”William McGeveran

“ofCourse has made our class scheduling so much more efficient! Rather than months of back and forth with faculty to finalize a class schedule, the entire process to finalize a schedule and release to students takes only a matter of weeks. Faculty love the ease of entering teaching preferences while knowing that those preferences will be adhered to. ofCourse is incredibly user friendly and Troy and his team offer incredible support and guidance if needed. The ease of entering data, gathering faculty preference and generating a class schedule has never been easier. I actually look forward to the scheduling process each semester! All of us at UCI Law who have scheduling responsibility could not be more pleased!”Stephanie M. Santoro

“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!”Emily Scivoletto

“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.”Cheryl F. Edwards

“Before ofCourse I used poster board and sticky notes to map out the schedule. That could easily turn into a nightmare if one fell off. And getting it from the poster board to online was time consuming. With ofCourse, I actually look forward to making the schedule! Troy was so patient during the training process. He’ll walk you through each step and is always there to review the steps if needed. The process is smooth. Once done it can be easily exported. The ofCourse team is always looking for ways to improve the product and annually solicit suggestions. I can’t say enough good about it!”Pam Dirkse
